For completeness, I'll add that you could also modify bb-network.sh to
include a link with the URL that it reports. If you do that, you might
need to add EMBEDHTML to RUNOPTS in bbdef-server.sh so that the link
is not modified by BB.

The final method would be to change dohostsvc.c, so that is adds the
link to the URL as the web page is created, and re-compile. Using the
"notes" feature (section 5.4 of the on-line manual) is by far the
simplest method, though.

Cheers, Phil.
