If you're looking to create a client, we'd love to hear from you!

Authentication
With the exception of those clients created for MSN and IRC7, there are very few clients that can successfully connect to MSNDL, due to the strict authentication measures.

MSNDL allows only two types of valid IRCX authentication, as MSN Chat did
 * GateKeeper (and GateKeeperPassport)
 * NTLM

Both types of authentication were well known for MSN Chat, with NTLM being ussed by MSN Chat Staff, GateKeeper by users, and GateKeeperPassport by users with a .net Passport (now known simply as a Microsoft Account)
