I seem to be having trouble logging on to the HP calculator BBS.  I get as far
as the prompt "Please enter your name:," which I answer.  Then it hangs.  I
waited 20 minutes (with long distance charges accumulating), and it didn't do a
thing.  Finally I tried control-C, and it said something like "User pressed
INTERRUPT - exiting" and hung up on me.

What am I doing wrong?  Is this long delay some kind of initiation ceremony?
Should I try during the wee hours instead?
