You can send/receive mail from a compuserve user. To send address it as:
	userid@compuserve.com
For example, I am: 74176.534@compuserve.com
(Don't send mail to me there, I seldom sign on to compuserve) The 
compuserve user can address mail to the internet by entering (from memory)
	>INTERNET:domain.address
So I am: >INTERNET:verket@venice.sedd.trw.com
Check the online help to be sure. Note that one can only send ASCII
mail back and forth and you therefore have compuserve's (50K ?) limit
ont it's size. Binary mail is not supported.

There isn't a telnet login capability that I'm aware of.

Check with the authors of Microphone II. They might have one in the
works for their upcoming 1.0 release. (next@svcdudes.com)
