These are used only for client-client communications. Hmmm yes so it seems... Perhaps this is only with newer versions of icq client and thats why other people have not noticed this problem! Because my client connects to port 4000 on icq.mirabilis.com when it first logs in and it seems to use udp! The same seemed true for licq as well when I was using it... Maybe that has all changed now? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
