Has anyone been able to mail to c$erve lately?  I asked about this
about 4-5 months ago and received a document that gave me information. 
My understanding is that to get from the .UUCP domain (pseudo-internet)
to c$erve, you send mail to the cis account # @compuserve.com and things
get translated automagically.  e.g.

	xxxxx.yyy@compuserve.com

is a valid internet address for someone one c$erve.  The following
headers were received this morning.  My question is: Should I talk to
the postmaster at cis.ohio-state.edu or what?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated...

Yes, about 12 minutes ago.

   The following
   headers were received this morning.  My question is: Should I talk to

Yes, you should; and it would have worked a whole lot better and more
promptly if you'd just mailed me directly.

Giza (one of the systems which does gateway work for CServe) was
upgraded this past Sunday, and I managed to miss one of the more
important bits of the mail system in the process.  It was fixed less
than 10 minutes after multi-user reboot after otherwise having
completed the upgrade.  Your mail managed to get bitten in that
10-minute window.  Send again; it'll get through now.

Say what? Saddam Hussein gave you a deadline of 31 January?
