When sending files with Trillian, what network are you using? ICQ, Yahoo, MSN
or AIM?

| Do you know what I might need to do to send files via icq?
| I used to send them all the time, but the last few times I tried,
| it won't work. My zone alarm is set to allow it - I don't have my xp firewall
turned on.
| I had trouble sending with yahoo also - but I think it told me every file I
tried, regardless of size, was too large to send!!
| I thought maybe it was even the person I tried to send a file to - but we
tried a couple of people and none of us seem to be able to send or receive !

| if i want to send a large file to one of my family i send it over ICQ. that
way it only gets sent when convenient for both parties and we can send files
that are to large for email.
