You are on a Local Area Network.  You see coaxial cable in front of you.
>get coax
You can't, it's stapled to the wall.
>call f000
You are at F000,0.  There is a VAX here!  It is running Unix (tm)!
The VAX demands a userid, and will not let you pass until you give one.
>bstempleton
The VAX swallows your userid, burps, and demands a password.
>password
The VAX takes the password, refuses to echo it, and states you have made an
incorrect login.  You are kicked off!
#xyzzy

#plugh
You're at Y2
