My interpretation of unsolicited responses was like the example Arnt gives. Meaning that if the server has something extra info to report it will sent a seperate untagged response with that info. I didn't understood that it will stuff it into the same untagged response line containing the data actually requested.

I see it must be interpreted pretty flexible. Thanks for the viewpoints on this topic.

Per.
