I think I can clarify this some. If you use the compuserve 2000 package,
which is what they give you  on the rebate deals, you can't get dial-up
to work. I had used what they call "compuserve classic" several years
back and was using to dial up.

Greetings,
After purchasing a pc for my kids, using the Compuserve rebate offer I
found out that CIS does not use dial-up-networking in windows (assume
nothing). Because of that you can't use ppp to connect. I spent quite a
bit of time coming to that conclusion. If anyone on this list has
overcome this problem for linux or windows I would like to know.

You most certainly can use CIS to connect to the internet via PPP because I am
doing it now! If you GO UNIX (I think) there is a Linux section where the
recipe for connecting via a chat script is given. I plugged this into the kppp
dialer and it fired-up first time.
The chat script is:

ABORT 'NO '
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'ERROR'
'' AT OK-AT-OK ATZ OK-AT-OK ATS11=55W2DT08-5661-2000 CONNECT '\r' : CIS : \
100277.537/GO:PPPCONNECT : password PPP '\p\p' 

(The last line is split; obviously change the phone number, userid and
password)

AFAIK,  M$ systems come with a CIS script, I cannot remember the details but I
created a Dial-Up networking object, entered phone numbers, userid and stuff
and it just worked.
