# Wanted Information

* MSNP6: Does it really acknoledge the account verified bit? I couldn't get the toast to show up in Client Version 3.6.003x.
* MSNP8: Did FND exist? Rumors said it did shortly before it got killed in all protocols.
# Common Terms

* Client Version: relevant Official Client version.
* MSNP: Mobile Status Notification Protocol, or whatever acronym you like. Runs over TCP via port 1863.
* ABCH: Address Book Clearing House
* Messenger Config: A file used by Client Version 6.0 and higher that specifies some data for the Official Client.
