Yes, I have "Classic Compuserve" and use it to access the internet using
Arachne. The parity and stop bits (7N1), AFAICT, are particular to
Compuserve, not necessarily to Compuserve Classic. If someone on the list is
using Arachne thru Compuserve 2000, or Compuserve 4.XXX or greater, please
chime in and let us know. (If you need the script to access the Internet
thru Compuserve as a gateway, let me know.)
