The last six months have seen countless postings explaining how
to exchange mail between Internet addresses and CompuServe.  Can
anyone provide any clues on how BIX, Bitnet, MCI, etc. tie in?
One recent posting in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d suggested that
mail to username@dcibix.das.net would get from the Internet to
BIX, but the poster had not actually tried it.  Does it work?
How does one get from BIX to the Internet?

Finally, what is the correct group for inquiries like this?  The
Internet <--> CompuServe inquiries were in comp.sys.ibm.pc, but
there must be a more appropriate place.

Thanks,

David
