No, this is happening because astrovax (the machine you're calling) has no
entry for you in its Systems file (this is the honey danber equivalent of
L.sys), and is refusing to talk to you.  If you don't want astrovax to call
you, add an entry reading "mypc7300sname Never".  Otherwise add a full entry
for your machine.
