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. -- David Lemson (312) 732-4741 FNBC Sys Admin (Summer) UIUC NeXT Campus Consultant(rest of the time) E-mail to: lemson@fnbc.com NeXTMail accepted
