They haven't. AOL bought CompuServe, and then created a new online
service using the CompuServe name. Right now there are two CompuServes:
CompuServe Classic (@compuserve.com) and CompuServe 2000 (@cs.com).
CompuServe 2000 is AOL with different graphics. CompuServe Classic still
maintains its own servers and has little to do with AOL, other than
forwarding its revenues.
