- Since I live here in the 508 area code, I decided to give it a try.
-
- My first reaction on calling was: "he's right, it doesn't work".
-
- Finally, I hit a bunch of carriage returns, got a login, and subscribed
- to the bbs.
-
- So, either it takes a while for the BBS software to start running, or
- it needs a bunch of carriage returns.
-
- But it does work.
