I notice that you are at a UK university, so you should be able to
reach the BBS via JANET.  Although I mentioned this last March
it might be worth repeating.

Connecting to the Microchip BBS via JANET:

Use telnet or whatever to connect to your local JANET PAD.
At the "PAD:" prompt type "call pss-gate".
At the ">" prompt type "(,r).compuserve".
At the "Host Name:" prompt type "mchipbbs".

If you want to download files from the BBS you will probably
need to use a recent version of Kermit (i.e. one that can work over
a telnet connection).

Good luck,

David
