hahaha... ICM is starting to be used for internet nodes and CM for dialups...
slowly... even though CM covers both and ICM can be left out... CM can be left
out for dialup if it is not online 24x7 and ICM used for the internet side
which is online 24x7... granted, this may not be how ICM is written to be used
but i've seen it used like this in the past few years... nowhere near any level
of usage to warrant changing the documentation yet, though... but as long as
usage changes the documented specification, anything can happen ;)
