I tried to send this message to compuserve. My address was illegal, but
I think the net would be interested in the return message:

Subject: Addressing CompuServe Mail users
A message you sent to a CompuServe Mail user is being returned
because it could not be delivered due to an incorrect address. The
correct method of addressing CompuServe Mail users is outlined below.
There are two types of CompuServe Mail addresses. They can be
reached from the Internet as follows:
a) Members of the CompuServe Information Service have an address
(a.k.a. User ID) of the form "xxxxx,yyyy", such as "70000,11".
To send mail to such an address from the Internet, change the
comma to a period and attach "@CompuServe.com". For instance:
70000.11@CompuServe.com
b) Members of organizations with a private CompuServe Mail area have
an address of the form "organization:name", such as "ABC:J.SMITH".
To send mail to such an address from the Internet, send it to
"name@organizaion.CompuServe.com". For instance:
J.SMITH@ABC.CompuServe.com
A few organizations have adresses which also include a department
in the form "organization:department:name", such as
"ABC:ACCTG:JOHN". To send mail to such an address from the
Internet, send to "name@department.organization.CompuServe.com".
For instance:
JOHN@ACCTG.ABC.CompuServe.com
There are also a number of special destinations available to users of
CompuServe Mail which are NOT accessible from the Internet,
including:
Facsimilie Delivery (e.g. >FAX: )
Postal Delivery (e.g. >POSTAL: )
Telex Delivery (e.g. >TLX: )
MCI Mail Delivery (e.g. >MCIMAIL: )
Finally, please realize that only CompuServe Mail users have access
to our member directory. Since there is no mechanism for you to
obtain addresses directly from CompuServe Incorporated, you should
obtain this information from the individuals with whom you wish to
correspond. Thank you.
Coordially,
The Electronic Postmaster

Re: PCREMOTE Jan 16, 1990
PCREMOTE apparently does not work on some machines with Phoenix BIOS.
I have tested PCREMOTE on an IBM-XT, a clone with Phoenix BIOS 2.27
and a Tandy 1000HX with Phoenix BIOS. In the two machines with
Phoenix BIOS, PCREMOTE activates the floppy drive light and hangs
the machine. One machine has an external modem: PCREMOTE apparently
completes programming the modem before it activates the floppy.
There are two messages posted in the UseNet newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc
to this effect.
PCREMOTE has generated considerable interest. Please post information
as to how this problem can be corrected.
