You need to use the ipmasq icq modules.  When you compile ip masqing
into the kernel, the modules are automatically created.  have a look
about /lib/modules/2.x.x/* (I believe they're in the net directory) and
look for them.  There's one for Quake, ICQ and a few others.  Once you
find them, modprobe those babies :)

The reason you need a seperate bit of code to masq these protocols is
because not only do they have IPs in the datagram headers, but the data
that the datagrams are actually carrying contains IPs as well.  The
various different modules can understand the communication protocols
that things like ICQ, Quake, etc, use and masq them.
