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 .....
