To CompuServe: change the CIS account's comma to a period to make the 
user name.  The site name is CompuServe.COM.  Thus, 7xxxx,yyyy becomes
7xxxx.yyyy@CompuServe.COM for sending mail from the Usenet world.

From CompuServe: a CompuServe user can write to us in the form
>INTERNET:user@site.domain or >INTERNET:forwarder!site!user.  The word
>INTERNET: is used even for sites that are not on the Internet proper. 
The greater-than sign and the colon are required, but a space may be
inserted after the colon.

To/from GEnie: no go.  There are no connections and none planned.

To/from BIX: there is no direct route, but DASNet will deliver mail between
this universe and BIX at their usual rates.

EasyPlex is CompuServe's trade name for its email function, so look back
three or four paragraphs.  If you meant *EasyLink*, then I don't know the
answer, except for going through an independent forwarder like DASNet.

MCIMail customer accounts are reachable also, but you'll need to hear from
someone else how to communicate with them from here.
