Compuserve has recently initiated an access from the Internet into
their network.  You can access a Compuserve Information Service user
from the Internet by sending to his CIS userid like so:

     xxxxx.xxx@compuserve.com

The "xxxxx.xxx" corresponds to his Compuserve userid (which he knows
in the form "xxxxx,xxx".  Just replace the comma with a period and 
fire away.  If a CIS user wants to reply back into the Internet, he
can do so like so (from Easyplex at the To: prompt):

     >INTERNET: user@loc

So for example, I could send myself mail from CIS by sending to:

     >INTERNET: Walter_William_Kemmerer@cup.portal.com

As a CIS user, I can vouch for this service working.  It's not always
real fast, but it seems to work.

Cheers, and good luck in gettin' around in the networks.
