Re: bmi outage

I display the BPS of the serial port receiving data from BMI cable.   BMI appears to be
transmitting the same amount of data as usual, but it seems the Omega Server cannot
recognize the trades from the stock exchanges - apparently due to a change by BMI.

I got through to BMI tech support on the 800 number and they just hang up.   I even called
on BMI's toll number - after being on hold for 20 minutes I finally hung up.   I would
think DBC would put everyone available at manning the BMI tech support phones.   It
appears that management of DBC's BMI division is incompetent.
