OK this is LISTSERV running under VM.  It may be due to a site-specific problem
with an old (BITNET era) 'List-Exit' that prevents you from entering or
confirming your password in the normal manner.  You will need to contact the
Site Admin for help with this:  [log in to unmask] or Darren Evans-Young
<[log in to unmask]>.
