Hi, folks,
    Is there a way to access COMPUSERVE via internet? Can someone tell me the
internet address of COMPUSERVE. Thanks in advance.

It's (surprise!) compuserve.com

You replace the comma in the user ID with a period (decimal point).

For instance, I am 70346,1745.

My Internet address is 70346.1745@compuserve.com

Hope this helps.

Okay, now what is Borland's user ID on Compu$erve so that I (we) can
get our tech support over the internet?

If you want to send a message to someone and you know their
Compu-Serve id, use the address:xxxxx.xxx@compuserve.com.
NOTE: The comma's in the address have been replaced with
periods.

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.)
