How does ICQ IM work (1)

• You need to register at a ICQ server, which is connected to a broad network of servers spanning the Internet.

• At the time of registration, you receive a unique ICQ number.

• ICQ gives you the option of entering personal information along with your ICQ#. This allows other ICQ users to recognize you when you log on.

How does ICQ IM work (2)

• Once you've registered, you can compile a selected list of friends and associates.

• ICQ uses this list to find your friends for you.

• As soon as you log onto the Internet, ICQ automatically detects the Internet connection, announces your presence to the Internet community, and alerts you when friends sign on or off.

How Does Audio Work?

• When you place a call a dedicated circuit opens between you and person you call.

• The line remains open until you hang up.

• Your voice is digitized, then broken into small packets of data.

• The packets travel to their final destination where they are reassembled into “voice“.
