No I did not slipp. It will not ask for the username. If it asked for the
usernamn why would you then enter "USER username"? You do need to actually
login to use it, but the server doesn't ask you as it does when you connect
to a telnet service. At a telnet server something like this is shown:
somePlace: _ (you'll need to imagine the underscore blinking yourself).
//Bernie
