I don't know since I have never tried but I'm wondering why you just don't play normally through QII??? It's exactly the same thing....just set your max players to two so no one else can join. What advantage is there playing QII over ICQ.....I would think that it wouldn't even work as well. -- Later, Sherpa Remove the I to reply ICQ# 6712362 (keep the I and say hi =-})
