It has been my experience, that though CompuServe does have USENET acc
they will not allow accessto the vidtex service which their own subscribers
normally see. 
I discussed USENET access with their customer service reps - several of
them (who seemed patently stupid...) and could not get through to them what
USENET was or is. Nevertheless, they forwarded the suggestion.
Don't get your hopes up, though. It's very unlikely that it will ever happen.
