    I found minicom on BL3, and tried it.

    It dialled OK, and I was asked for my username.

    User name seems OK.  It asked for my password.

    I entered it, then pressed the return key. The lights went out on the
modem immediately, and it left the message "Authorization failed".

    I also got that when I tried dialling manually in DOS.

    Could it be a time-out set too short on the server ?

Regards,
         Ron
