Sounds great.  Should BB be an RFC'd protocol - it's only has
one operation: SEND (connect to server via port 1984)

The message format is trivial:

3 Message types:
	status machine.area color <data>
	page machine.area numeric-message <text-message>
	ack ticket-number <delay> <message>

Server doesn't send anything back.

There it is.

Is it worth it?
