Some time back I was interested in finding a way to log on to CompuServe
via Internet - but couldn't seem to be able to find a way.
(compuserve.com exists, but you can't telnet to it).
Well, I HAVE FOUND A WAY!!!
CompuServe is accessable from the merit network, which can be accessed
by telnetting to "hermes.merit.edu" (35.1.1.6), and typing "compuserve"
at the "Which Host?" prompt. In fact, many services are available from
the merit network (which is maintained by the University of Michigan).
Just thought ya'll would like to know --

Since they know your ID, there probably is one charged back. What else is Merit good for? -Rob "Lemon Curry?" rlwald@phoenix.princeton.edu
