I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that after all this time using Xymon
(and Hobbit and BB before that) I did not realize until today that Xymon
does not use the keywords BBDISPLAY, BBNET and BBPAGER. So, now I have a
need to split BBNET from the others and have been looking at the email
archives and man pages but have found no explanation of how to do it.

Note I'm still on Xymon 4.2.3.
Setup the server as a normal Xymon server, then disable all tasks in
tasks.cfg / hobbitlaunch.cfg except the network test.

Note that by default it has a "NEEDS hobbitd" setting - you must remove 
this when you disable the "hobbitd" task, or the network tests won't run.

And of course, configure your Xymon server in xymonserver.cfg / 
hobbitserver.cfg .
