Some responses are coming in via UDP and some via the EventQueueGet CAP. 
John understands which far better than I do. I theory, you might still 
use the UDP,  but certain responses (like for starting a group IM 
session) appear to ONLY come in via CAPs now.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use SLProxy on a Mac for some time 
now, and my own Python-based proxy isn't working yet, so I can't help 
you there.
