Most of what you listed is addressable in the form shown below:

Compuserve: 	xxxxx,xxxx@compuserve.com
BITNET:		user@host.BITNET
Fidonet:	has its own similar format (eg. user@a.b.c.fido.org)

UUNET:		is a site, not a network
Usenet:		is really not a separate network - it describes the set of
		hosts that carry network news

Someplace there's a document about how to send from anyplace to anyplace,
but I don't know where it is or how to get it.

Try 70411,63@compuserve.com

Most places which are accessible somehow via Internet have some means of
recognizing addresses of the format user@site.
