ICQ should work fine though IP MASQ for basic messaging. If you want to
enable ICQ chat, you need to:
1) Configure ICQ as being behind a NON-SOCKS firewall and
limit its ports to 2000-2020
2) Install ipmasqadm on your 2.1.x kernel and enable the
portfw command to redirect ports 2000-2020 to your
ONE specific internal MASQed machine. Yes.. thats right..
only ONE machine at a time. If you want more, you'll
need to write an ICQ MASQ module.
Thats it.
ICQ uses port 4000/udp to register the user
and 2000-2020/tcp for ICQ chat.
