   JA>Well, if I know who I'm going to talk to, that's fine, but if I want   
   JA>general chatter... :-) Probably not a good thing to start dialing   
   JA>random numbers. LOL   
      
     I'll let the robocallers do that. :P   
      
   JA>... Hey, look!  A completely new undocumented fea&%$#*@ NO CARRIER   
      
     Try the Sysop Editor door on the BBS, and you'll get something close   
   to it...a screen noting "You've Been Busted!!", and it adds "If you   
   thought you were going to get off easy, we're going to call YOUR   
   MOTHER"!! .   
      
     You will get logged off with 4 of my logoff doors...   
      
   1) Spiked -- you have to dodge the moving spiked walls. If you   
   are "impaled", you're logged off. The longer you avoid the spiked walls,   
   the higher your score is.   
      
   2) Don't Wake The Sysop -- you have 4 ways to bug the Sysop. If you   
   "wake him", you're logged off. You can page him, call him on the phone,   
   knock on his door, or yell outside his window. He does have a nice pair   
   of boots at the bedside, and a real nice quilt on the bed.    
      
   3) The Complaint Department -- you see a welcome screen, and when you   
   press , you're logged off.   
      
   4) Plinko. If you hit LOSE, EXIT, or run out of chips, you're logged   
   off.   
      
     Some of the other "Logoff Doors" have a G)oodbye option in them, to   
   logoff from the BBS. One is "Toilet Stall Graffitti Wall" -- 20 flushes   
   in ANSI. Or, as I like to put it "ANSI Rooter, that's the name. Just   
   flush your graphics down the drain"!!
