The interface to access Chat Services are completely built into the server. Traditionally
service agents (such as ChanServ, NickServ and MemoServ) have been used because
it has been an area not covered in any IRC protocols until IRCX was introduced that
handled the channel registrations. We extended the protocol to handle nickname
registrations using existing commands and added a new command for memo services.
The benefits of having the services interface being built-in allows client software to
properly interface using server commands and numeric replies.
