I think I replied to you concerning the RSX BBS in Minnesota.  Their 
phone number is the one you quoted, 612-777-7664.  When you connect
you push <CR> a number of times until you see a greater-than sign

to that you can enter the command HELP and get a summary of how to
log on.  The logon command is HELLO followed by your last name and
password.  IF you do not have a password you must follow the help
screen to apply for one.  If you do not have a DECUS membership
number the BBS will not let you on.

The software that this BBS is running under is fragile and I've 
found in the past 3 weeks or so of calling them that they are
down a lot.  I even crashed it by entering characters in a field
which was expecting numeric input.
