I don't know what would possess you to *want* to get on CIS, but if you can
telnet, then you can connect to hermes.merit.edu and type "compuserve" to
get a connection.  Since the connection between Merit and Compu$uck is fast,
they charge you for a 9600 connection, but it works and you can sit down at
an IP-connected machine and do it without a modem.  Of course the Navigator
doesn't quite have TCP/IP support yet... ÿ
