It sounds like you're doing everything correctly.  The socket handler
callback is only there as an option - icqlib should work the same as it
used to if you're using the timer method to call icq_Main, it's just going
through my new socket manager code.

I've been getting a number of different reports for this lately, but on my
local system here, everything appears to work fine in both directions.  
If you could, please do the following:

1. Ensure you've updated to the most recent CVS version - I put a few
fixes in for the socket manager code after my initial checkin.

2. Use the icq_Log callback to capture a log.  Log everything that comes
across the callback, try to send a TCP message to your program.  Send me
the resulting output.

3. Give me a quick description of your system, running uname -a at a shell
prompt is fine.

Thanks,
Bill
