[comp.misc] CompuServe gateway

    Could someone send me the instructions on how to send mail to a user on
CompuServe.  Yes, I know I should have kept them the last time they made
the rounds. :-(

     Sure.  CI$ addresses take the form "<usrid>@compuserve.COM".  The
CompuServe user id is a number xxxxx,yyyy.  To use it as an internet
name, you change the comma to a period, thus: xxxxx.yyyy.  For example,
to send mail to me, you would mail to "74756.666@compuserve.COM", and
it would eventually reach me.

     Hope this helps.
