actually, I thought - with ICQ at least - that once an initial message
had been forward from client (me) > icq server > client (you), the
clients then used direct ip addresses and bypassed the server. i would
hope so for 2 reasons, 1) security - from my point of view, why should
"they" get to log all my conversations and 2)
bandwidth/processing power
- they would have to have a hell of a lot of bandwidth and servers to
cope with the (unnecessary) data.
