[hobbit] Two BBDisplays, one collaboration

[Josh Luthman]

Tod,

I've configured it that way and neither of the www pages have any
information (concerning these hosts).  I do know that 1984 is "connectable"
from the new Hobbit server (tested with nmap).

Any other ideas out there?  From what little I know about this it seems like
this Net option is just an extra step, it doesn't seem required - is this
true?  What is the simplest way of getting the list of hosts on both
bbdisplays?
