MSNP14?

This one is copied from MSNPiki, which doesn't specify what version it applies to - I'm guessing it corresponds to MSNP14 due to the yahoo support:

  • 2 Office Communicator
  • 4 Telephone
  • 8 MNI (Mobile Network Interop, used by Vodafone)
  • 16 SMTP (Jaguire, Japanese mobile interop)

Added 13, "ConnectUser", no idea what it is.
