[hobbit] Hobbit -vs- BB4

[Jones, Jason (Altrincham)]

I wonder how long Unicenter or whatever it's called would have taken to
even load the status page over a 56k.  But ye very good time for it to
happen, as far as a complete network failure can be called a good time.

Have they told you when they plan to make their decision on this issue?
Jason.
