by ICQ.
These dialers are supported by ICQ:

Quarterdeck
These dialers are not supported by ICQ:

If your dialer does not appear on this list, or if you don't know which dialer you have,
you may wish to download ICQ and try for yourself to see if it will connect to our server.
We would appreciate if after such an attempt you would contact our
Technical Support
and let us know whether or not you were able to connect and register to ICQ.
We will continue to update this list.
Before downloading, please note that Win3.x communication and dialing capabilities have a number of issues unrelated to ICQ.
