Jon! For anonymous logins, one should follow the printed instructions and enter
their username on their local system, not guest. While I doubt anyone at the
NIC ever looks at it, I do look at my anonymous logs and frequently contact
people having problems with the VMS syntax my system uses. If they just type
GUEST, as many do, I'm helpless. I know the system, but not the user.

Please be polite and enter your real ID if that's what is asked for. (And it
almost always is.)
