            RThe Internet communicates via gateways with other networks 
such as CompuServe, MCI Mail, BITNET, FIDONet, UUNET, and USENET.  The 
Internet has several component networks (which themselves include other 
networks):S

The question becomes:  how do I send a message to someone on Compuserve?
Example:
I would like to send a message to J.Hodgdon
his compuserve address is :  70411,63

I am familiar with the user@site form for other message addresses,, but 
this one I do not know.   Anyone Help?

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.

Try 70411.63@compuserve.com

The comma won't get past the mailer so the dot is used instead.
