Where do I find the ICQ module? Did it come with the original distro?

:Simply compile the module, copy the ip_masq_icq.o file to
:/lib/modules/<kernel-vers>/ipv4, run "depmod -a", then you can
:"modprobe ip_masq_icq".

:
:You tell your ICQ client to pretend that it is NOT behind a firewall.
:The protocol module will mangle the ICQ traffic to make it work.
:
:Note: If you, like me, run a rather tight firewall setup, you will need
:allow incomping TCP connections on the port range 60200-61000. This is
:where the module will redirect incoming connection requests.
