Apart from the "nickname" extensions, there's at least a list
of commands used for the server protocol in the original
PingPong Convers source. TPP AFAIK also uses some additional
commands that will be transparently relayed by normal convers
servers.
> Has the convers user command syntax been documented anywhere?
There's the online help, but commands and server messages
differ from implementation to implementation which makes it
impossible to write reasonable client software. Jochen DG6VJ
implemented a server-client protocol we're currently experimenting
with, but it is far from being complete. Probably we'll
rewrite the server or design a new server-server protocol.
The question is if it's worth it or if we rather should use
one of the IRC protocols -- which has the same disadvantage, BTW:
no current protocol definition. IRC is nice, though. And quite
well to handle unless someone uses a sirc based client which pings
the server every second or so.
BTW: /.. is really /\377\200
