[comp.sys.apple] Compu$erve Gateway

STEIN@UCONNVM.BITNET (Alan Stein) (08/15/89)

  Since we can send mail to Compu$erve, and Compu$erve users can send
faxes by addressing their mail properly, can we send faxes through the
Compu$erve gateway?

  There's not much to it.  We can send email to anyone at CompuServe by
addressing it to <compuserveid@compuserve.com>, with a . substituted for
the , in the id.

  For example, my CompuServe id is 71545,1500.  Someone on Bitnet can
send me mail on CompuServe by addressing it to

    71545.1500@compuserve.com

  (Please don't--it's much cheaper for me to read mail on Bitnet.)

Anyone on Compu$erve can also send mail to us on Bitnet.  We cannot access
other Bitnet services.  E.G. we cannot mail FAXes by way of Compu$erve.

How reliable is that gatewat?  Im wondering because I sent a letter to 2
people on compuserve and neither of the messages bounced or were received. 
They were simply lost.  Either that, or its taking a month to get there.

the mailbox.  I did get the bouncer back within 15minutes though.

  I've sent a couple of messages through to Compu$erve without any problem
and also received replies.  Whether it's fairly unreliable and I've just been
lucky, I can't say.

All gateways are subject to occasional failure.  The thing to do is report
problems to the 'postmaster' (on BITNET it's often a chore figuring out
WHO that is, but on the Internet <and even UUCP> the obvious
- postmaster@host - usually works).

I just heard from Sam Neely <postmaster@compuserve.com> earlier today about
an entirely different question, so I know he replies to mail.
