Occasionally we have a glitch and you won't be able to get through.  We check
the BBS at least once per business day, so the answer is to try again the
next day and you ought to get through.

By the way, the main number for the Atari Base BBS is 408-745-5308.  The
number you listed is the 3rd of 5 lines.  When the board is busy, calling
the main number gives you 5 chances to get through.  The 3rd number will
ignore the first two so you only have 3 chances.
