RE: GEN BMI and DTN bid and ask

I, too, would badly like to get hold of Bid/Ask quotes, real-time, on the 
T-Bonds.  Signal say that it cannot be provided!!!!!    I am told that DTN do, 
but unfortunately I cannot get DTN here in England.   Does anyone know of any 
other source that would be available over here, rather than just over there!

Would be real grateful to know.  By the way, any of you day-trading guys who 
happen to live in the Chicago and would like to chew the trading cud over a 
drink, I shall be there during the 12th - 18th September.  Obviously, trading 
during the day, but in the evening...    Anyway, mail me personally.

 I am not currently trading TBonds.  Just evaluating the use of bid and ask.
When I do trade, believe me, I will do so with realtime.  Sorry I did'nt
make that clear.  RB
