is there a way to modify the 3.0 to send to a interal Groupware ICQ server instead of the Internet ICQ server. Also is there a way to send to more then one ICQ user at one time. I have tried to enter in ; and , and they do not work..

Thanks,
Steve

This task have added to our "to do" list.

You can add several "Send message to ICQ" actions (with different settings) to the action profile.

What is the status off this implementation?

Status is "suspended". I tried to implement what you asking for, but...
Right now HostMonitor sends message to ICQ user using ICQ web server. In this case HostMonitor does not need any 3rd party library, dll, does not need started ICQ client, etc. Code is small and need only Internet connection.
To send message using internal Groupware ICQ server program have to use ICQ API (please correct me if I am wrong). I played with ICQ API, but its a little strange API. It has function to send message (ICQAPICall_SendMessage), however this function always open ICQ window, set recepient and message but do not send message until user click on Send button manually.
Of course, there are another method to send message: implement internal ICQ protocol and behave like ICQ client. Unfortunately I did not find ICQ protocol specification.
