I noticed the Private Messaging integrates w/ Ventrian.

With the Advanced Profile be a template that can integrate with the Smart-Thinker UP?

Thanks,
Steve

The Advanced Profile option with the initial release will only provide support for Active Profile. However, that doesn't mean you could create your integration by using the templates. The integration points mentioned above mean that you can easily integrate without modifying any templates. It also means that we will support any issues that arise with included points of integration.
