The crap on screen is the result of an incorrect "summary" line in
etc/bb-hosts.  Get rid of it.  Also get rid of all the summary*
files in www/logs.

Next, your screen is purple, check 
http://edison.devel.coastnet.net.au/bb/bb2.html

for the problem systems.  If they're not being watched any more,
then remove the host entries from www/logs and you should get a
green screen.

Do those first, then we'll see about the ping problem...
