I've had Compuserve since my first modem (2400 baud!!) and I found it excellent. I generally only use it for connecting overseas as it is usually a local call. I have my OE5 account set up to operate with CS as ISP. aonly other hassle is connecting through a switchboard in some US hotels, can be very slow.
One word of warning I reloaded CS on a friends laptop and he lost all his Word stuff. I forgot to close the Office Shortcut bar and so managed to replace an Office file with a CS one!! Now I always close Norton, Winfax and Office shortcut bar before running an install.
