Almost right, Rob.  I tried this and the XTX99649 part is wrong.  However,
I called the Customer assistance number (above) and a recording told me that
at the "U#=" prompt, you should type "GENIE" instead.  This worked and I
now have an account myself.  Thanks mucho for the lead-in.  I plan to start
downloading the GEnie roundtable files immediately (or within the next few
days, at least).

James, once I've got these files downloaded, can I just shove them onto
Sunbane for the rest of TML?  If not, what would be the best way for me
to make sure that everyone else has access to them?  (Ah, the joys of free
modem access at work.:-))
