Thanks Guy, now it's OK.

Yes they are beginning with "YMSG", that means "Yahoo
Messenger". And I couldn't find in internet a description of any
other Yahoo Messenger protocol, whose packets to begin with "YPNS"
or "YHOO". Maybe these ones are too old?
>>And if "YMSG" means they

Has anybody in developers team intention to do this? Or one has to do
it by himself?
