Subpart of bug #17048. Create the main code, that is invoked at startup and shutdown and does all non-protocol-related work. No UI, however.

Adding [RFE] to Summary.

Peter, your "Attention!" comment does nothing to advance this cause. Please refrain from making advocacy comments in bugs. The appropriate place to make these kinds of comments are in the newsgroups. This is what your comment accomplished: It sent some spam to up to 3 people, Ben Bucksch (who filed this bug and doesn't need your reminder that it exists), David Krause (who probably copied himself on this bug so he could see when actual work was happening) and me (the default QA contact who will now be removing himself from the bug leaving it without an owner _and_ a QA contact). Here are some of the things your comment didn't accomplish: It didn't incent me or either of the other 2 people who received your mail to start working on it. It didn't add any technical value to the bug that would have helped someone else start working on it. And it didn't bring any further clarity to the dependency chain which is neatly handled by Bugzilla. Bugzilla comments are supposed to add value to a bug. Just because you can comment in a bug doesn't mean that you should. Please email me if you have any questions.

spam: ASA - I apologize for my one line (now 3 lines) of spam (now what value did your 20 lines add that couldn't heve been said in an e-mail?). END OF SPAM.

I really need a roaming access feature. I'm so sorry that it has removed on mozilla. -_-;
