Hi Bill:
    
    	THis memo is long over due. As you known I spent a good part of
    last  week playing with and eventually demoing hubwatch for windows. It
    is a great  product, I love it!!! It is simply, it is funtional, it is
    low cost and it runs on a pc, and it's what the customer want.
    
    	Now for the bad news. The product has a bug in it the make it
    UNUSABLE  AT A CUSTOMER SITE. If you have one decagent in a hub
    everything works wonderful. But if you try and manage another hub and
    you tell hubwatch that you are using and existing agent, it never gives
    you a choice of pick that agent. Now if you  logon directly onto to the
    agent with a terminal the agent works fine and you can  manage mutiple
    hubs so the problem seems to lie in hubwatch. 
    
    	I am supposed to install this at the cleveland turnpike commision
    ASAP, But they have multiple hubs at this won't work. HELP.

	This "bug" still exists in Beta4; at the moment, we are having a 
	discussion with the developers as to whether the multiple hub 
	support on one agent was in the specs. We hope to have this cleared 
	up soon.
