Connect to Compuserve from Tiger client

[pw-apple]

There seem to be 2 types of compuserve account, "classic" and the new "2000". 2000 is a different company to the original compuserve account. On compuserve's webpages, the only downloadable software for Mac OS X is a 2000 client - not useful for a "classic" user with a shiny new mac running 10.4.4. Now, it seems that extra software isn't necessary, and I suspect that one "just" has to work out the correct chat script. So, have any of you managed to connect to compuserve (not 2000) from tiger, and if so, how? (Compuserve support said "we don't support mac os", and when I mentioned the 2000 software, pointed out that that is another company)

CompuServe 2000 is hardly new. It is almost as old as MSN. It is so old that CompuServe 2000 has been simply CompuServe 7.0 since 2001. I know that CompuServe Classic has content that is not available on its newer sibling, but come on! America Online has been trying to move its CompuServe Classic subscribers over to CompuServe 2000 (now CompuServe) or AOL for nearly a decade. Don't you think it is time to let go?

If it really means that much to you, buy VPC. Download CompuServer 4.0.2. Install it on the emulator and have yourself a grand old--and I do mean old--time.
