Now this is another way to chat by ICQ. It's pretty neat, I never really used it before, but I realized how cool it is.


1) You can add anyone to your list, without letting them know about it and without their authorization.

2) You can check anyone's IP if they are online, or use this as a way to detect whether they are invisible or not.

3) You mask your own IP that way (very good for pranks, described earlier in the pretending to be someone else online and talking to your real-life friends and Jaymz nodes).

4) You can access your contact list from wherever you want, school for example.


Get your own unix shell at freeshell.org or nether.net, and forget about the Windows ICQ client!
