   How did you guess people could be interested in this,

No guessing involved; the two most common questions I get about CServe
are "how do I address a subscriber" and "can I telnet there?"

   and so why isn't compuserv interested in this

I don't know.  For one thing, though, their hosts don't speak IP.
