Also, if you use CompuServe, you need to switch to 7 bits do the password stuff and then switch to 8 bits. I use dip because I couldn't figure out how to get chat to do 7 bits.

I couldn't figure out how to switch in Chat either, but just for the hell of it I tried it with nothing special and it worked so I guess CIS strips the high bit if present during password entry. I've since left CIS after 12 years to go with a provider that supports 56K modems for $5 less per month.
