Telneting to GEnie

[Alberto Roffe <roffe@delphi.com>]

I've been trying to access GEnie through hermes.merit.edu for about
a week now without any success at all.
 
This is what I always get:
 
 
> telnet hermes.merit.edu
Trying...
Connected to hermes.merit.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
 
%Merit:Hermes (HMEA44:TN04:VT100:EDIT=MTS)

%Call cleared 17 81

Did the procedure change in any way, this option was canceled, or what is
happening??
 
Thank you.
