Unfortunately, you are very correct. ICQ no longer appear to have an SMS
sending form on their web site. This situation is not new - it happened
about a year ago, and unfortunately since then I never modified SendSMS
to use an alternative technique.

The alternative technique is to use some sort of program or library that
speaks the ICQ protocol, rather than HTTP. Any graphical or command line
ICQ implementation (e.g., micq) should work, and there are also several
Perl and other libraries that do that. Some other people on this list
may be able to recommend a good command line program or library -
unfortunately, my life got a little too busy for continuing to work on
SendSMS...
