The Quiet Internet Pager (QIP) is an instant messaging client. It is a closed source freeware developed by a Russian developer Ilham Zyulkorneyev. Its most distinct feature (at least from the official ICQ client) is the tabbed message window -- instead of multiple message windows open when chatting with more people, only one window with several tabs is used. This is now no longer an advantage over the standard ICQ, as ICQ Version 6.0 now also includes this feature as standard. Advantages which do still exist include integrated mail.ru e-mail client, and a wider range of extra smileys. However, QIP still keeps the advantage of no advertisement in the application windows (leading to lower bandwidth and CPU usage) and much higher security standard.
Pronunciation

QIP 2005
QIP 2005 is an alternative instant messaging client based on the OSCAR protocol. It has full support of ICQ and experimental support of AIM.
QIP 2005 does not properly support Unicode which causes issues when sending and receiving non-ASCII messages unless both users use QIP.
