  42 This is an Unreal message that happens during the server link phase.
  43 Services has never recognised this message for any version of Unreal. I
  44 mentioned it ages ago with some other unsupported ones but this link
  45 process remained &quot;unknown&quot;. I think it was considered too low priority to
  46 fix.
  47
  48 A quick look at the protocol code shows that the SMO message is listed in
  49 the table but it doesn't recognise up the link notifications.
  50
  51 An example when &quot;leaf&quot; connects to &quot;hub&quot; follows:
  52
  53 unknown message from server (:hub SMO o :\ 2(sync)\ 2 Link leaf -&gt; hub is now
  54 synced [secs: 0 recv: 0.698 sent: 3.225])
  55 unknown message from server (:leaf SMO o :\ 2(sync)\ 2 Link hub -&gt; leaf is now
  56 synced [secs: 0 recv: 3.285 sent: 0.698])
  57
  58 Sometimes there will be an additional:
  59
  60 unknown message from server (:hub SMO o :\ 2(sync)\ 2 Possible negative TS
  61 split at link leaf (1022499961 - 1022499962 = -1))
  62
  63 While on the subject of Unreal messages, aniother unsupported one is the
  64 SILENCE command:
  65
  66 unknown message from server (:nick SILENCE Nick :*!*<A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices-coding">user at host</A>)
