Does this mean that there is a gateway to compuserve somewhere out
there ? Does this mean that we can all send E-mail to Jerry Pournelle next
time he says something totally braindead ??

Does this mean that we can all send E-mail to Jerry Pournelle next >time he says something totally braindead ?? Yes that means we can send e-mail to him after every column ... FYI the gateway is being run through cis.ohio-state.edu by Karl Kleinpaste. I don't know if it's considered totally official yet or if it's still in test stage. But rumor has it they're doing ~300 messages per day. There's some funny syntax for mailing back, like >internet:address or some such -- there's a posting in comp.mail.{uucp,misc} right now detailing the gateway.. -- <- David Herron; an MMDF guy <david@ms.uky.edu> <- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <- "Amiga software is as good and as bad as PC software.

Karl Kleinpaste works for the Ohio State University Computer And Information Science Department. But, he did help get CompuServe on the net. I don't think that it's been 'officially' announced yet, but it was discussed in one of the local groups here. (Text about mailing to Jerry Pournelle deleted 9-) > >_If_ you know his Compuserve id number (PPN), _if_ he even has one, yes. > >-larry That is correct, you must have the guy/gal's PPN, to send mail. If you know that they are employed AT CompuServe, you can send mail to their name, which (from what I've seen) is their first initial followed by their last name.But, doing it by PPN is MUCH safer.
