Yes it is very popular... Probably the most popular instant messager there is at present... I dont know about adding it to libalias, but there must be someone that has a soultion for it... It seems to me it must have something to do with the time between server to client communication and the connection getting deleted form the nat table... I have tried to get my hands on the source for icq-masq linux moduel but all the sites it was on are dead or the links to the program are dead... Maybe it has been incorperated into the linux kernel or something? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
