Dear diary, on Fri, Sep 20, 2002 at 09:30:05PM CEST, I got a letter,
where Torsten Lang <TLang@xxxxxxxxx> told me, that...

Hello,

The thing is that you need to reply with PONG to each PING you receive, as you
doubtlessly know (see description of PING in ie. RFC1459). Thus, if you will
receive

PING :1700376905

you must reply with

PONG :1700376905

and the registration will proceed.
