It could be done with MicroPhone, if you just want to build a script that  
"understands" Compuserve and run it.  Ideally, a script could be written  
that would gate CIS mail into Mail.app, and would map CIS forums into  
news.  This isn't too hard to write, and I am very motivated to do it; I  
just don't own MicroPhone :-).
