After reading Fred's post, I tried hyperterminalling to 510-496-0242
and it worked just fine.   You have to type *waltz and *waltz
in response to the first loging and password prompts respectively;
then you can log in.

It probably confuses people that the same information isn't
under http:/www.rahul.net/howto/   .... the trick for shelling in
is hidden in the "Access numbers in the San Francisco Bay Area"
page in the guest page.  A page that you're unlikely to go
to if you already know the desired access number.
