This is wrong (boss :-).  I sent Bill mail on this but I saw this and decided
to post.  The problem is that he needs a day(s) of the week in front of
his time.  Example:

machine	Any0100-0200 ...
machine Wk0100-0200 ...
machine SuMoTu0100-0200 ...

I used to get bitten by this all the time, but I'm catching it now.  If you
forget to put a day(s) of the week it will always be the wrong time to call.
