I have just moved to Tokyo for a couple of years. Can anyone tell me how I can access the full Compuserve service using AP or Whap! through a local (i.e. Tokyo) telephone number. Thanks in advance. Rod

Rod, First thing to do is put some budget aside. The most economical network I've found is FENICS. The surcharge (in addition to CI$) is about Y70/US$.60/min. The 1200 baud number in Tokyo is 3730-4944, 2400-3739-9968 (both 8N1). I don't know about AP or WHAP!, but the sequence is: YOU DISPLAY dial & connect 2 or so <CR> WELCOME TO FENCIS (a bunch of numbers, then at * prompt c cis <CR> USER ID: (as usual) The network charge will be added to your normal bill (and you WILL notice that!) So what are you in for? Drop me an E-mail with your telephone if I can be of any help. My wife and I have been here almost 5 years doing corporate video. We live in Shibuya. Be happy to share any info, etc. Scott
