        After consulting the "Inter-Network Mail guide" and the
        various faq lists, I discovered that the recomended way
        of sending email from the internet to Compuserve is:

                XXXXX.YYY@compuserve.com

        I've tried this several times (even with one and two line
        messages) and the mail seems to land in a black hole. The
        messages neither bounce nor gets to the designated address.

        Am I doing something wrong, or is some node down?

I wonder whether the problem might be that you are not on Internet, you
are on AT&T Mail, so the instructions don't pertain to you.  I wouldn't
be surprised to hear that AT&T Mail has their own procedure for sending
email to Compuserve.  I suggest you contact your user support desk and 
ask them for help.
