Actually, what am I thinking?  When I was in the dorms we had to rent an
RS232 adapter that hooked into the Rohm phones, which we could then use
with a terminal emulator or dialer program to connect to the BYU Y-Vax
system, and from there use the campus modem pool to dial into the CS
Department's main unix machine, burt.cs.byu.edu, and run elm, or pine to
read our email. :)  Those were the days.

Any other alumni Y-Vax or burt users still hanging out on this list?
