For those that use or know someone on Compuserve, it is now possible to mail to or from the Internet and CIS. The procedure is pretty straight forward, but I don't have it handy now. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will mail a copy. There is no additional charge on the CIS end. ken@cup.portal.com [Moderator's Note: In fact, the addressing scheme is '7xxxx.xxx@compuserve.com' and it is quite reliable. The first part is simply the CI$ user ID number separated with a dot in the middle. I send copies of the Digest to a couple people on CI$ now who prefer to receive it in their mailbox there, although no re-distribution of the Digest is permitted at that site. PT]

PT] Does anyone know if there is a direct connection to Compuserve from the Internet? It would save a lot of money and time if you could telnet directly in. At least 50% of my time on-line is spent waiting for stuff to print to the screen at 2400 baud. G.J.

It would save you a lot of money, but it would still cost someone. Actually, it wouldn't be hard to do. Rutgers already has the stuff in place to do it, but it obviously isn't enabled. CompuServe is accessible via the X.25 networks. We have an X.25 -> telnet gateway (we only have the into the internet side turned on right now). -Ron

Well the mail gateway is a little daemon that runs on one of Ohio State's Pyramids--the actual connection is a normal dialup, as far as I know... I don't think CompuServe is connected to any real networks (aside from their own packet-switched service). -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation amanda@intercon.uu.net | ...!uunet!intercon!amanda [Moderator's Note: Compuserve has an NUIC which is reachable via Telenet and most foreign PTT data networks.
