Stupid me, it was in the email they sent me, I just totally overlooked it.
Shouldn't BBS before coffee...

Again, stupid me.  I was trying to put in the password I'd sent him, which was
9 characters.  Turns out, he used my password, but without the last character
so it's 8 characters long.  I didn't catch it.  Put in the 8 character version,
and it worked fine.

Again, BBSing before coffee - not a good idea.
