After downloading ICQ.........keep your internet connection but close down the browser you were using.  The downloaded ICQ file is an executable file, double click this file whereever you saved it and you go through the normal installation process.  There comes a point in the installation process where you are connected to icq and assigned a number that is unique only for you.  THE ADDRESS IS ASSIGNED BY ICQ.  As long as you have an active internet connection one can go to the start, programs area and call up this program.  It self loads  and you are in business.  Play around with it after the installation is complete and you have been assigned your number.  You go no where until that number is assigned.  Sometimes it takes only seconds on the first try, sometimes a second try.    I believe it to be the best way to communicate via instant messages, chat board of all the available instant communication software out there.    Richard ICQ # 352127   ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Ayad To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 9:11 AM Subject: [NetMeeting] ICQ Hi all,   Can anyone please tell me how do I set up an ICQ address and then connect via ICQ.   I hear a lot about it that it can be 'much better' way to communicate....Is it direct communication via IP addresses. If so aren't addresses allocated temporarily by the ISP???   I don't understand.   Any explanations would be appreciated.   Regards, Sam
