Compuserve & Sprynet Worldwide Access Numbers and Logon Information
PRC Files for the Palm Pilot, Personal or Professional
Current as of: September 20th, 1997

Introduction:
If you travel like me, you probobly enjoy the worldwide (although not cheap) access that Compuserve offers its subscribers.  But not many know (most likely because they don't advertise it), that Sprynet uses Compuserve's established network to gain worldwide access.  I have compiled this set of information from the Compuserve Network for anyone who needs quick information and formatted it to fit on the USR Palm Pilot.  You'll need Doc version 1.6 from Rick Bram.  You can get Doc from various Pilot sites.  My favorite is Pilot Gear at www.pilotgear.com.

How to use the list of files:
There is no need to install all the files at once.  They will take up about 75k total when installed.  If you're like me, you'll probobly install the Worldwide and USA phone numbers.  Then, depending where you are going, find the network that is in use in your country, and find the logon instructions for it.

Note:  The Network files came directly from Compuserve's Access Number board.  I didn't modify them in any way.  Also, I haven't tested all of these instructions.  The responsibility for their functionality rests with you and Compuserve.

The difference between CIS and Sprynet:
I use Compuserve's network in Mexico City to enter Sprynet.  Where it asked for the Host Name, I type SPRY02 instead of CIS.  You will need to follow Sprynet's login scripts in order to gain access.
