What you need is an interrupt 14 re-director.  FTP software makes
one called TNglass.  Wiscware has one that comes with their MD-DOSIP
software.  I have heard that their may soon be a public domain
one available from Clarkson.  

The async package must support Int14 redirection.  Procomm Plus
for Lans and MS-Kermit are two such packages that do this.  There
are (I have been told) two different types of interrupt 14 redirection,
so some packages won't work with certain int14 redirectors but will
with others depending on which type it employs.

Does compuserve have an IP address?
