customer location send up a summary to your main server. You will get a

<DIV></DIV>I can't scp the entire host list, nor would I need to - it isn't
going to change and the hosts are not identical.<BR><BR>Let me tell you how
the overall picture looks. We have a main Hobbit server that monitors
our backbone, customers' home routers, WWW servers and things. Now we're
adding a Hobbit at a hotel's LAN. The first step was to get Hobbit
running there on its own little world and ping the access points. Now
the next step, where I'm stuck, is to duplicate the information that is sent
from bbtest to the bbdisplay on our company Hobbit. <BR><BR>The hotel's list
of hosts is limited - their APs and a couple of their guest/lobby PCs.
Ours needs to have the things it has currently, but another page that includes
the hotel's hosts.<BR><BR>Sorry, I know I'm terrible at explaining my own
situations =( <BR><BR>Josh<BR><BR>
