  20. | This is incorrect. You can telnet to hermes.merit.edu, then answer 
  21. | "compuserve" to the 'Which Host?' prompt. That will take you directly to
  22. | Compuserve.

  24. CompuServe, however, will bill your account for communications surcharges
  25. as if you were calling in at 9600 bps via SprintNet.
