"bb sends "page" messages to bbd on the BBPAGER machine"

when bb sends a message to BBDISPLAY host(s), it checks the color
level of the message.  IF it is red, it will then also send a
message to BBPAGERs.  SO this way you only need one invocation of bb.

Have you checked in bb2.html, you should have a purple there.

What's the IP address associated with the message ? (should be
at the bottome of the status log) 

it's probably your BBDISPLAY, remove all  SB-DWBC2.sik-gmbh.de
