The MCI and Compuserve mail systems are experimentally gatewayed to the
Internet in such a way that (1) the Internet does not allow traffic between
the two commercial nets, (2) the Internet cannot be used as a transit net
for either commercial net, and (3) Internet users incur no charges.
Under an agrgeement between JVNCNET and the NSF, LEXIS distributes over the
Internet to law schools only, in support of research and education.
