# OCC - Logging into ICQ and a Links Update

I have been thinking about chat clients that I could use on the OCC
box, and as luck would have it, today I read Matto's post on ICQ and
nina.chat [0]. Although I did not remember my old ICQ number, I picked
a random one and signed up under #8174290. The old version of pidgin
that comes with Debian Lenny connected with no issue, all I had to do
was select ICQ from the new account type list. Hop on and say hi!

One tip - after you create your nina.chat account, go into your
account settings and add a legacy client password. This legacy
password worked for me to login to their ICQ server at
login.oscar.nina.chat, port 5190, and of course I do not have to worry
about this password being compromised, since it is different from my
nina.chat account password.

Also a minor update from my post on compiling the links browser with
libressl support [1], you can bypass the certificate warnings by
doing the following from within links:

    Alt-s -> network options -> SSL options -> 'Accept invalid certificates and weak ciphers'
    Alt-s -> save options
