city/state. Access groups 10 to 15 are displayed as a

followed by the user’s phone number, then birth date.

DD/MM:EEEE, such as 086:51866 01/03:0012, where CCC is the

automatically log the user off.

by the maximum number of minutes the user may use in one
day, as specified by his access group setting.

the current date, time, the word pause (to be covered shortly), the last
user’s handle (or the user on-line), and the user’s real name.
