[comp.sys.amiga] Compuserve <-> Usenet mail

lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca (Larry Phillips) (07/23/89)

For anyone interested, there is now a mail gateway between Compuserve and
Usenet. To use it is quite simple...

>From Compuserve:

In Easyplex, at the 'To' prompt:

    >internet:<address>

Where <address> is of the standard form, ie. to mail to me at home from
Compuserve, you would use '>internet:lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca'. Note that
the delimiters '>' and ':' are required. The address also requires a fully
qualified domain name. Mail can be sent to virtually everywhere on the network,
including BITNET.

>From Usenet to Compuserve:

You will need to know the person's ID, and you will modify the comma to a
period. To send mail to me on Compuserve, you would use:

    76703.4322@compuserve.com

Enjoy!
