Let' keep it simple!

Any SVDRP connection will be able to do, e.g., a MODT command as long
as there has been no change to the timers since the last time it has done
an LSTT command. In order to perform any useful modification command on
timers, an SVDRP client has to do an LSTT command first, anyway.

The same applies to other SVDRP commands, accordingly.
