Got the answer on what's going on! It turns out that you ARE indeed 
dialing a number that one can use to access Compu$erve. However, those 
numbers also serve other people too. (Hence the "Host name:" prompt) 
However, they weren't kind enough to include that fact in their 
documentation.

So, here's what to do:

* Dial the numbers.

* Hit <return>

* When the "Host name:" prompt shows up, type in "holonet"

* Login as "guest"
