What
to do when things go Bad.
Most of the interaction is done at the machine midtwist in
the M13 Counting Room's "Executive Class". The login at that machine
is twistonl, with the usual TWIST password. You can also log
into midtwist with the usual TWIST account name and password.
Most of these programs can be accessed from any terminal by logging
into the appropriate machine. But be warned: Netscape seems to
crash if you run it from two different terminals under the same
login to the same machine!
