My collegue recompiled bbwin so it can send user msg.  What about recompiling 
bbwin so it dumps the text in a file instead of sending it to the hobbit 
server.  Then you can write a script that runs on the hobbit server that 
collects this file (using samba - ssh - ftp - sftp - http) and feed the info 
to the hobbit server.
Just a wild idea .....
