I have experienced a few too many crashes. It is also a memory hog
(12 meg). Which is much more than the, what, 3k that it takes inetd
to listen for ytalk requests... :-)
However, it is indeed true that ICQ can be better for mobile users.
In the end, it's up to the user, of course. I prefer ytalk but others
prefer ICQ and it is indeed available and usable under Linux.
