Thank you for the response.  The security group has put a wrinkle in this
setup since they won't allow any type of SSH tunneling.  I am unable to
open any ports from the clients to the server, and no SSH tunneling.  I
started looking at bbproxy.  Is it possible to have the main Hobbit sever
pulldata from the bbproxy server, instead of the bbproxy server pushing
data to the main hobbit server?  I thought to have the Windows clients send
data to a hobbit server in their dmz which would be a bbproxy server, then
have the main hobbit server pulldata from this bbproxy server.  These
Windows clients don't have Cygwin or SSH.  Any ideas?  Thank you for your
time.
My collegue recompiled bbwin so it can send user msg.  What about recompiling 
bbwin so it dumps the text in a file instead of sending it to the hobbit 
server.  Then you can write a script that runs on the hobbit server that 
collects this file (using samba - ssh - ftp - sftp - http) and feed the info 
to the hobbit server.
Just a wild idea .....
