Gee, thanks for that. But did you actually try it on that site?
Did it work for you? 'Cos it sure did NOT work for me.

What a shame that your advice was no use at all.

So why did I try Alt-X?

Because as it connected, I saw on the screen "Alt-H for
instructions". Alt-H gives me a screenfull of commands including
"Alt-X to close connection".

But that doesn't work.

By going through the screens I can get to a point where it offers
me "Q to Quit the connection". I enter "Q" and press the enter
key, and back we go to the start... "First name, last name...."

Here's something interesting: when I try it offline, the computer
goes into a loop that can only be broken with a reset. This makes
me think that there is something wrong with Arachne's telnet.

Checking the code on that page shows it has an HREF to
"telnet://bbs.docspalce.org";. Entering that command in the URL
line does not connect me, but at least it doesn't lock the system
into an unbreakable loop.

Now, can someone give me some advice that they really HAVE tried
on this site, that they _KNOW_ will work?
