Sorry, but I don't know where I should post this, but this newsgroup is the one I read... so here the question goes. Can I send mail to friend who has no access to the net but CompuServe and The Source? and vise versa? (through net, of course) Thanx for any help. -- |I want Rocket Chip 10 MHz, Z-Ram Ultra II, UniDisk 3.5 | cyliao@wam.umd.edu | |I want my own NeXT, 50MHz 68040, 64Mb RAM, 660Mb SCSI, | Chun Yao Liao | | NeXT laser printer, net connection. | Accepting Donations!| /* If (my_.signature =~ yours) coincidence = true; else ignore_this = true; */

The correct place to ask such questions is: info-nets@Think.COM (a rather LARGE list of network guru's who can tell you how to get mail to all sorts of difficult to reach places -- the USSR, South Africa, UUCP ;-) >Can I send mail to friend who has no access to the net but CompuServe and >The Source? and vise versa? (through net, of course) You probably already are aware that Compu$erve took over the Source and folded it into Compu$erve. You can send mail to a Compu$erve user by replacing the comma in their userid with a period and adding @compuserve.com i.e., xxxxx.yyy@compuserve.com /s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)

In the future please restrict your postings to more appropriate subjects such as whose computer is better and whether Fords are better than Chevies. Err, for those of you with your brightness control turned way down that was a joke. > Can I send mail to friend who has no access to the net but CompuServe and > The Source? and vise versa?

I'd rather not quote from it too often out of fairness to O'Reilly but consider this a plug. Honestly, "BUY THIS BOOK". The book has sections on E-Mail addressing in general and over one hundred two page entries for different networks. I didn't find a listing for the Source yet but one option, which I subscribed to, provides updates every six months or so. You can get the O'Reilly brochure containing several excellent books on VI, Unix and c and Xwindows by calling 800-338-NUTS (for Nutshell books, the series name) or in California call 800-533-NUTS. Ok, you've sat through the ad so now to answer your question. Pages 64-65 give lots off details about reaching Compuserve from Internet including the date that the gate went into affect, its physical location, equipment used and proper syntax. quote "Users on CompuServe can be addressed using their CompuServe indentification number as the user name, replacing the comma with a period, and adding @compuserve.com as the domain. For example, user 71234.567 would receive mail addressed to 71234.567@compuserve.com." end quote. There is also information about reaching Infoplex and Business service customers. To reach internet from Compuserve the syntax is >internet:user@host.domain. They even have a two page section on accessing FidoNet. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************
