Have you ever considered some of the GNU ICQ clones for UNIX/Linux out
there? I haven't used one myself, but it seems that would be a better
bet. Although GNU stuff requires you to read a lot, at least people out
there like to work on it, instead of leaving it in limbo like Mirabilis
did for its Java ICQ.
Okay, I know that wasn't exactly a satisfactory answer, but it's
somewhat relevant to the situation ^_^
A couple ICQ clones I know of are Licq (it doesn't stand for Linux ICQ)
and Micq.
