FILENAME: C:\JOURN\J020692.WPD (Feb 6, 1992)
Today is Thursday Feb 6, 1992
So after a lot of complaining to my mom, I was finally allowed to try out C-LINK SYD. I had to promise that it wouldn't cost any money and that I wouldn't get in any 'trouble' dialing this number from Joe.
I have yet to 'finish' getting connected., I put the number in the Telix Address book. I got it to dial, and got to the login screen.
Joe told me when it prompted for a login: you just typed "guest" so I did that and then it started taking me through a bunch of questions. I got what I guess was about halfway through the connection, when suddenly
it just popped up a bunch of strange characters kind of like:
WE0A92RT09SFA09JAW
NO CARRIER
About 2 seconds later my mom yells to my dad telling him there was a strange 'noise' on the phone when she picked it up.
I then had to run up and explain that if they pick up the phone while I'm online that it will disconnect me. Well mom wanted to call her sister, so I am here typing this know waiting for her to be done. (I also had to explain that 'online' meant i was connected to a BBS (ie: short for 'on the phone line') seemed obvious to me.
