I haven't tried one in ages to be honest, but I don't really feel the need either. I have email and ftp for file transfers. I would imagine that ICQ can tunnel the file transfers through the server connection just like it does with the messages, although this may be a bit heavy on the bandwidth, it doesn't seem that far fetched.. most people don't have a very big upstream pipe anyway. >I use that too (keeping state of connections) of course, so the traffic >between me and login.icq.com on port 5190 should work without problems.

If file transfer is that important to the boxes behind the firewall/natd that are using it.. I recommend that you set ICQ to use a small, unique port range on every box that's running it, and forward the appropriate ports to the appropriate boxes.
