Sorry, there is absolutely no way you can send mail back and forth between  
Prodigy and the Internet.  There is no connection.  That is true, you can  
send mail to Compuserve, but there is no way to do this with Prodigy.   
This is mainly due to the stupidity of the company that runs Prodigy, in  
brushing off everyone who asks for this service - they deny that there  
would be a big enough need for it to warrant its cost to them.
