As it says, you may log in as anonymous, giving your mail address as
password, (don't fake it, as I suspect its got tracing enabled and will
know which host you're connected from).

It would be illegal to try to log in on any other account, unless authorised
of course.   The anonymous account is a very restricted one, and only allows
FTP access so far as I know.

BTW warnings like the above, usually known as "Computer Misuse Act
warnings", have become frequent on UK computer systems, since the Act made
it a criminal offence to access computers in certain unauthorised ways.
The wording ensures that nobody thinks it is a public or open system, so
removing the possible defense that the user thought he was permitted to
access it.
