• Instant Messaging enables you to send a message

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.

9
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.
