You can't access them by remote login, or ftp'ing, but you can send mail to
someone on their network. Try using the addres template:
xxxxx.xxx@compuserve.com
For example, mine would be:
73737.733@compuserve.com
Note that the normal ',' in the username is changed to a '.'
Good luck,
JWKIII

CompuServe is NOT on internet. Mail can be sent to/from CompuServe, but you
cannot use other services. Or how are they going to charge you $$$?

I have never memorized the address but look at my .signature for the exact
internet address of compuserve. The numbers represent my account on Compuserve
just substitute the account number of any compuserve member and you can send
them mail. One word of caution, it costs a member a buck every time you send
mail to them. Seems like bs to me but that's their policy.

It's compuserve.com. Replace the comma with point. Eg.
7775,35 becomes 7775.35@compuserve.com

I know of no way to log on to Compuserve via the internet, but you can
send mail to Compuserve addresses over the internet. Just send your
mail to 12345,6789@compuserve.com, replacing the 12345,6789 with the
Compuserve ID of the person to whom you are sending mail.

You can send mail to @compuserve.com. I don't think they are on the
Internet directly. Their mail forward is at Ohio State I think.

you should be able to mail to compuserve by simply mailing to
xxxx.xxxx@CompuServe.com
where xxxx.xxxxx is the normal compuserve number,number. (Not the change of the
comma to a period.)
