If the computer system dialed into allows tourists, that is, it allows use of its resources if the caller is either not required to enter any identification or is allowed to identify himself as "Guest", "Tourist", "User", "Demo" or some such generic name, then the caller should feel welcome to use the resources, to take a tour of the machine. . .
