I have had requests for both.  Both the America Online client and the
Compuserve client can use the Internet.  We deal with this by using FWTK
plug-gw at ports 4144 (to compuserve.com) and port 5190 (to 
americaonline.aol.com)

One thing to watch out for (at least the last time I checked) is that the 
passwords go clear text over the Net.
