In article 4207@cup.portal.com, my fellow Portalite and Chicagoan Patrick
Townson addresses Mike Hampton's question aboout accessing CompuServe
from the Philippines.

Telenet's NUI, I am nearly positive, is 3110, rather than 3101.  Their
addresses on Telenet are 614227 and 202202, so their full address would
be [0?]3110614000227 or [0?]3110202000202.  They are also accessible
through Tymnet (NUI 3106) with host usernames of cis01, cis02, cis03,
or simply compuserve: a connection to 3106,compuserve should get you
to CompuServe via Tymnet.

Telenet is probably a better choice because you can change ITI and X.3
parameters on line if necessary; with Tymnet whatever control characters
one inserts before the host username are irrevocable for the rest of
the session, and any not requested then cannot be called later.
