    Kwasi,
    
    Sounds like a nice application - I'm curious as to which CAP fields
    you use to filter messages of interest. For example, did you get
    anywhere trying to filter on the <event>, or did you fall back on
    a set of system-specific <eventCode> values?
    
    TIA,
    
    -jeff
