Tell me you're not trying to connect to an IBM-supplied, IBM-supported server running on a 400, or that the message is coming from some user-supplied exit program.

Whoever wrote the server evidently had a slightly sadistic sense of humor. (I once wrote a miniBBS in a communication program's scripting language, as an example of what could be done therewith; I wanted to call it "BORED," and have a sign-on message of "Hello, I'm BORED. Sign on please.")
