Your user monitor could be up to 25 people by using binary friends.

And depending on exactly what you want to do with this, those 25 people may need to be mutual friends.
I just want to figure a way to have the program alert when a user is on.

When you receive "Your friend <account> has entered Battle.net." announce it.
And if the users you're looking for aren't mutual friends, you'll have to send "/f l" every once in a while, then parse the usernames and info from that.

By using Binary Friends (0x65), your friends list is updated whether or not you are mutual friends. It doesn't tell you the location (if the Mutual flag isn't set), but it does tell you when that user has signed on or offline.
I think the point of the user monitor is that it can hold more than 25 friends.
Can the binary friendslist packets be used by non-war3 clients?
