I'm sure it could be modified to only allow local connections or to integrate it directly into jabber.

Really?
Is it that easy to find out it's not a real ICQ client?
Then why are non-real ICQ clients still being used?

> That means that it would block YOUR ICQ client. I would also leave you open for other people to invade your computer.

Unless it only allows local connections or you use a firewall.
