There is a virus on America Online being sent by E-Mail.  If you get anything 
called "Good Times", DON'T read it or download it.  It is a virus that will 
erase your hard drive.  Forward this to all your friends.  It may help them 
alot.


There is no way to transmit a virus to a computer via the terminal.
Sure, maybe you can turn the printer on and off. Or maybe start up an
zmodem download but you cannot get a virus on a remote machine by sending
ascii...
