I'm not a MUS expert, so just a quick note, maybe it would help if you 
had such a sniffer yourself: you could e.g. use TCP Spy 
(http://www.westbrooksoftware.com/tsdetails.shtml, free demo version 
available). Below a short excerpt of what is shown by TCP Spy when using 
your chat (hex display, needs a monospace font):
