Is there any source of information on how to send
messages from Internet or Bitnet to commercial
networks such as Compuserve, MCI mail, Easylink, etc?
Thanks.

Compuserve has an Internet connection and their host name is simply compuserve.com. Users have a particular user number as an address, e.g, 12345.678, so their complete address would be 12345.678@compuserve.com. I am not sure whether or not MCI mail and others have Internet access. My understanding is that users are charged for sending mail out but I am not sure that this is the case for incoming mail. I am also aware of length limitations in some cases which may lead to truncation of longer messages sent to compuserve addresses. I have not personally used any of these services, but have communicated with users on Compuserve. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net

I've had no occasion to try it. I have communicated with the 'Portal' system from as: username@cup.portal.com Have fun! Tom Easton -------- from bboard: From: "David K. Ely" <dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US> [ll. deleted] Currently, there is no charge for sending mail from the Internet to MCI Mail. In order to send mail to users on MCI Mail, use one of the following addresses : accountname@mcimail.com -or- mci_id@mcimail.com -or- full_user_name@mcimail.com For instance, I have a mailbox on MCI Mail. You could send mail to me via either dely@mcimail.com or 379-3286@mcimail.com or David_Ely@mcimail.com. Users on MCI Mail can also send messages to the Internet. At the "Command:" prompt, type "create <carriage return>. Then the user performs the following: (NOTE the "TO:", "EMS:" and "MBX:" strings are prompts provided by MCI Mail. Command: create <return> TO: David K. Ely (EMS) EMS: INTERNET MBX: dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US This address is translated to: "David K. Ely" <dely@NRI.Reston.VA.US> by the Gateway. Mail sent from MCI Mail to the Internet is charged by MCI Mail. [ll. deleted]

However, it has not been updated since July 1990. It is currently just being reposted by someone else. According to information at the beginning of the guide, it is available by anonymous FTP to Ra.MsState.Edu as ~ftp/pub/docs/internetwork-mail-guide or from LISTSERV@UNMVM on Bitnet (send mail with a blank subject line and body consisting of the line: GET NETWORK GUIDE Hope this helps. -- Ellen Brewer (ebrewer@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu) "Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco."
