According to the latest wisdom on CompuServe, use of ">INET:" will be phased out in favor of ">INTERNET:" inasmuch as INET conflicts with something else on CIS. For the moment, both work, but the preferred form is >INTERNET:. . . . CompuServe levies no additional charge for use of the gateway.

If you would like to pursue it, the person to start with is probably Karl Kleinpaste at Ohio State (karl@triceratops.cis.ohio-state.edu). He is the persons behind the installation and maintenance of the gateway. Michael E.
