No, I know the format of status messages...what I'm looking for is the 
protocol for establishing a connection to hobbit on port 1984 so that I 
can send status and other messages to Hobbit. I guess I could run a 
sniffer to find out, but I figure that its either documented somewhere, 
or Henrik could just let me know :)
