Hi!

You may use ICQ (and its user-to-user interaction) using natd program.

Configure your ICQ client so it is "Behind the firewall" and assign
each client a separate portrange (minimum 11 contiguous ports required).

Then use natd to directly map this portrange to a proper client (see
redirect_port command of natd for details on how it works).
