Here's what I got when I logged in as new, and then again as new
(two-tiered login procedure for this, for some reason):

Welcome to the SDF Public Access UNIX System - Est. 1987
In Europe?  Try sdf-eu.org

Type 'help' for commands.

FEP Command: help

Not sure why you didn't get this table.  Maybe you should try it again?
Looks like the commands "what," "mkacct," "software" etc could all get you
