Washington - AT&T on Tuesday began offerering an electronic mail service that
will instantly send a short message for 40 cents and more than 2 typewritten

MCI, COMPUSERVE LINK UP
Washington - MCI Communications Corp. and CompuServe Inc on Tuesday linked
their electronic mail services, creating the world's largest interconnected
