According to the latest wisdom on CompuServe, use of ">INET:" will
be phased out in favor of ">INTERNET:" inasmuch as INET conflicts
with something else on CIS.  For the moment, both work, but the
preferred form is >INTERNET:. . . .

CompuServe levies no additional charge for use of the gateway.
Users pay only the usual connect charges and communciations
surcharges.

I don't know whether this is feasible.  If you would like to pursue
it, the person to start with is probably Karl Kleinpaste at Ohio
State (karl@triceratops.cis.ohio-state.edu).  He is the persons
behind the installation and maintenance of the gateway.
