Such exists, just send "oldsocketmode" without the usual bytecount, when you first connect. then you can see shouts, and chats, and use the "who" command. You can't easily use this interface for much more though, since it has become somewhat broken (you can log in, but the "shout" command won't work, "chat" will though; also when loged in, food usage applies). Additionaly, there is the posibility that it will be removed in the future, because of it being broken. -- Andrew Fuchs
