Advice for 2.4 kernels:

  - Newer ICQ versions use different ports than older versions of ICQ.
    Becuase of this, the ICQ 2.2.x modules will no longer will help.
  
  - Any version of ICQ can do basic instant messaging OUTBOUND without any
    special configuration. To support INBOUND IMs, you will need to setup
    either PORTFW or a SOCKS proxy.

  - Today, the most reliable mechanism to use ICQ is with a SOCK proxy.

If you have a 2.2 kernel, I would guess that SOCKS might still be the most
reliable, but they do seem to have local copies of both 0.52 and 0.56 of the
older module's source tarballs at the site.

Luck!
