echo msg support is functional in 2.5 and Windows GUI supports it. But its only useful for sending messages during connection initiation (i.e, whenever echo commands can be sent). You cannot push such messages mid-way through a connection. client-kill is the right way to disconnect or restart with optional advance to next remote.
