report:

Ulysses and BeppoSAX observed GRB010921 (=H1761, GCN 1096).  Triangulation
gives an annulus centered at RA(2000), Decl.(2000)=
232.299 deg., +67.605 deg., with radius 60.003 +/- 0.156 deg
(3 sigma).  This annulus intersects the HETE-II WXM error
box (GCN 1096) at

RA(2000)	Dec(2000)

343.596         +40.669
343.763         +41.069
344.027         +40.816 
344.195         +41.215

to form an error box whose area is approximately 250 sq. arcmin.
Some improvement to this error box is possible.
