Verber) Distribution: na Organization: Ohio State University, Physics Department Lines: 20 The compuserve.com (note spelling.... not compuserv.com) address is a MX record that points to the gateway machine, saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu. Saqqara is also known as osu-cis to pure uucp sites. Mail is perfered in the form per.prj@compuserve.com where per.prj is the person's login, such as 77102,1034. Note that the comma has been turned into a period to make the address a valid rfc-822 address. If you must just uucp bang paths (death to bang paths!) you can try sending to osu-cis!compuserv.com!per.prj or cis.ohio-state.edu!compuserve.com!per.prj. both of which will work. If you have friends in the corperate side of CompuServe (or employees) you can send mail to username@csi.compuserve.com Outgoing mail sould be in the form >internet:user@host.dom. Once again bang paths will *work* but are strongly discouraged. -- Mark A. Verber System Programmer, Physics Department, Ohio State University verber@mps.ohio-state.edu (614) 267-5979
