I think this only has to do with the version of ICQ the client emulates. For example Adium version 1.2.5 emulates a version that is actually too old and will not work. So I updated to 1.2.6 which was released yesterday (YMMV) and was able to login without any issues. I think there is also an older Adium client that works maybe 1.12 or so. Also, is this really an outage?? Keegan Holley ? Network Engineer I ? SunGard Availability Services ? 401 North Broad St. Philadelphia, PA 19108 ?

Users receive a message telling them their "client version is too old".
