CompuServe has an excellent Internet gateway.

To send to a CompuServe user, use their CompuServe account number with a
period instead of a comma, and then send to 'user@compuserve.com'.  For
example, my CompuServe account number is [76130,2374], and people
on Internet send to: 76130.2374@compuserve.com

A CompuServe user can easily reach Internet hosts as well.  If you are
on CompuServe, you use their standard "GO MAIL" mailer and prefix
all internet addresses with the string ">Internet:".  For example,
a CompuServe mail user can send mail to you with the address:

	>Internet: startbuck@ucrmath.ucr.edu

This seems to work quite well and the mail delays are short if your
Internet or uucp site is well managed.
