Ok you cant log onto demon with a normal comms program unless you are 
using the "GUEST" account. You have to phone to get the latest 
password for this. Alternatively you could use your cix account go 
online with connect and at the main prompt type go internet you will 
get some text printed on screen then another prompt now type 
ftp ftp.demon.co.uk
log in with anonymous and then your email address then type
cd pub/atari/new
then type 
bin
then 
get oasis135.tos
once it has finished it will be in your cix directory just download it 
as normal.
From the desktop double click on this file (its a self extracting zip 
file) and you will get some docs on how to install the whole package. 
Follow these and then try logging onto demon again :)
