Basically, Battle.Net servers offer three different protocols: GAMES =20
(1), FTP (2) and CHAT (3).
You tell your choice to the server in the first byte you send (for =20
example we send 3 in gaim-bnet).

Using the GAMES one we'll be able to do all the things you do inside =20
startcraft (like see the channels list, user info, join ALL channels, =20
etc)... the only problem is that it is a little more difficult to =20
support :)

For now I wrote the base for its conn.[ch] and proto.[ch] files... it =20
try to send only the first packet (SID_AUTH_INFO) but without =20
success :P

All the docs are in www.valhallalegends.com.
