   Polling With MBSE

   Just a quick question.. How do you make MBSE actually poll out.. I'm using the   
   correct mbout commandline but all it does is create the poll, but never   
   actually makes the network call...

   The poll sits there forever until I tell mbut to end it, but it never actually   
   makes the call.. I have to force it to call using mbcico .. or is this how its   
   supposed to be done?

   ...   
      
   I'm at a loss.. if you have to manually tell it to poll that kind of refutes   
   the point of using mbout lol
