I spend most of my time using linux, so I use licq but I do have icq for Windows as well (more of a legacy than anything else). I have the 2000b version. Anyway, where is this option? It doesn't seem to be under "security" or "connections", other than some mention of allowing direct connections to all users or just to those on your list (but nothing about older clients). I want to know more so I can tell others how to disable it than for my own personal use. > Q: Which clients do have this problem? > > A: All clients using icqv5, including Windows ICQ98. > > S: Use Jabber instead, it has a known and public protocal, and there are > more than just one server.
