Except that it does. I promise. We have twenty-ish Hobbit clients
that report to BB servers. I tapped into the communication to
figure out a quirk, and it looks just like BB communication
except that too the messages are too large for BB unless
BBMAXMSGSPERCOMBO is set to 1.

It is my impression that Hobbit clients use different protocols
depending on the server.
The hobbit clients have no idea to what hobbit server they are reporting.

Mhh, what bb server are you using ?  Is it possible that this is a version 
that is capable to understand messages from hobbit clients ?
