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.
