Russ, There is an offical java icq which will run on linux as well as any other platform which allows you to run java apps, but it is slow. I would recommend using Licq, which comes with the mandrake distribution (just type 'licq' at the terminal prompt). Exodus Russ Westbrook wrote:

About ICQ: It could possibly work with WINE. Or you could get VMware (http://www.vmware.com) and run ICQ under Windows and have Linux running on your computer simultaneously! Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED] But then again, if KICQ and LICQ exist, and theyre good... why fiddle with widows? ---

Hi Russ, In your Mandrake cd is an icq program called licq, it's pretty good. But there are some other programs too. If you are used to Mirabilis' icq program then try kicq, it's almost identical. For more information go to: www.portup.com/~gyandl/icq , there you'll find links to other icq
