  44 While on the topic of proxy scanners, I've evaluated BOPM and hope the one
  45 lamer I've been hoping it will stymie will get mired in it.

  47 Since Services 5 will (or at very least could, given coding for a module)
  48 sport global Z: line management, would it make sense to have it send a
  49 message so that it adds your desired Z: line to Services?  Or should one
  50 collect up the accumulated Z: lines on the respective servers BOPM is
  51 running on and manually add them later?
