Does anyone know how I could add and ICQ user to my AIM buddy list? I did a little searching on google but got lazy and thought I'd just see if anyone here's done it.

I want to be able to chat with my bros-n-law, and he uses icq exclusively for his work. I've tried gaim, licq, imici and each has some different problem that won't let us communicate. Mostly it's that he gets my messages but I can't get his.

I'm behind a hardware firewall, but have tried running my linux box as a DMZ host with the appropriate ipchains (i just tried letting everyting above 1024 in...)

So anyway, AIM works, and I understand that AOL is slowly merging the two messengers. But now I can't figure out how to add his account. Tried logging in under an icq account I have, but to couldn't.

It's a shot in the dark.. but anyone...?

I think its the firewall ( or the box itself has a firewall ), because those programs you tried work.
