Just a thought, but it would be neat if Mushclient could use upnp to open the port for the chat feature. I know it's not that hard for most people to add a port forward in their router, but why not utilize the common technology to make it even easier?

Which of course means that if you have an XBox on your network, you have to render yourself vulnerable to use Windows Media support for it, since it uses Upnp to function. lol
