Dear Marco,
Thanks for your answer and help.
I do see the problem I had with SOCKS. This is corrected now.
But Why do you specify both "-P4000" and the portnumber ":4000" for the
target ?
Will than mean that you may be able to change to connectingport on the
delegate to something else (may be ICQ do not support this ?).
