34 <PRE>And protocols such as these often change as well. I know IMServ often has
35 problems working with AIM simply due to the fact AIM keeps changing it's
36 protocols. These protocols are undocumented as well, which makes it a lot of
37 work for so very little. I'm not saying it's a useless feature, but I agree
38 that it would be far to much work to incorporate and maintain.

50 ><i> well, i regard it as 'totally useful' and i'm sure others would do the
51 </I>same, and this has nothing to do with the email protocol.. what it _DOES_
52 have to do with is the ICQ / YIM / MSN / AIM protocols, all complex, and
53 most undocumented. ICQ Pager works by taking a HTTP POST from a website, and
54 has been prooven un-reliable, as its simple enouigh for users to press an
55 'Off' button on them, as they are mostly used for spam. Also there is a high
56 chance that you will get a page informing you that the message send has
57 failed. And as i was saying, this would take a conciderable ammount of
58 coding, for something that will rarely be used.
