FTP and Mail Access from Compuserve
By Steve Vance

I just tried this, and it works fine from CompuServe. Just type GO FTP. I filled in the IP address (129.91.163.1) where it asked for machine name, but "foxtail.com" would probably work, too. Using

[ "real" name is so long that you don't want to have to type it.
[ 129.91.163.1 is actually easier.

WinCIM, the CompuServe FTP client is rather quite nice. You are presented with a list of file names, with a checkbox next to each. Just put an X in the checkbox of each file you want a copy of.

You are correct, Jody, that they no longer charge anything extra to send or receive Internet mail. They do have a per-message size limit, something like 32k.

[ Editor's Note:
[ Thats good to know. Only 3 digests so far were longer than 32k. I
[ think all of them had MIDI files in them.
