The following message is based on the response of another coder, whom
has been coding longer than I have been alive. They are working on the
same type of breaker that I was looking for, so we swap ideas quite
frequently.
"Tried that. Zmud and *nix clients like tintin strip all IAC commands
before sending it to the trigger checker. If the command is malformed,
the rest of the input is discarded."
"So: It's either recognized and performed, then stripped, or recognized
and ignored, then stripped, or unrecognized and stripped. I haven't
found anything that gets sent through."
Thanks for the thought though Greer. You're response was almost
another language to me, but it gave me hope that someone was listening
and thinking about a way to overcome this situation. I'm completely all
out of ideas at the moment regarding trigger breakers.
