I've tried a few times now. I've made it to the questionaire where it asks:

"Any SBBS or MajorBBS Games you'd like me to add?  Add to this list!"

It was hard to get there because the questions before it kept telling me I entered an incorrect value and press '[Enter]' to continue. This one also got stuck in the same loop. I didn't lose carrier. I was online for more than 20+ minutes but could not get past that question loop. I'll have to log in with telnet and answer it and then dial in again.

Another thing I noticed (I was dialed in at 4800) is that the ANSI graphics seemed to stop a bunch of times about a quarter of the way down the screen. I could hit enter or whatever and it would move to the next screen. I wonder if I'm connecting too slow? I picked 4800 to hopefully avoid some line noise. I know I can do 300 without issue but that's wayyy too slow for ANSI. I doubt I can do 9600+ without noise.

I'm not giving up though! I'm going to try again next time at a faster connection and see how that goes. :)

Hopefully I don't get my phone # caught in the spam filter by missing the ESC prompt after dialing in!
