# Wanted Information

# Common Terms

* ABCH: Address Book Clearing House

* PP14: Passport SSI Version 1.4.
* PP30: Passport over SOAP ala Client Version 7.5+.
* SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol, A wrapper over XML. That's the kindest thing I can write about it.

forgot about USR OK bits in 6-9 the relevant strings exist in 3.6.003x, but are they actually used? in MSNP7+ clients they are, but i'm wondering about MSNP6 exclusively here. Information also needed: What shows the "Account needs to be verified before using the service" dialog? it's not 924, it's not implemented. Updated main page with requests for this information. 2024-10-10 16:47:15 -04:00
