My father recently signed up for Prodigy and is thrilled to the gills about being able to send me e-mail. Unfortunatly for him, as I've recently discovered, Prodigy isn't connected to Internet. I even called 1-800-PRODIGY to get it "from the horse's mouth" and the nice lady said she was unaware of any plans to provide Internet access. So my curiosity's been piqued. Are there other ways for computer illiterates (like Dad) to send and receive e-mail? Does anyone out there use MCI-Mail? How is it? Are there other such services? I'm more inclined to point him towards a commercial service rather than a BBS for reliability. I suppose if Prodigy would get it's act together and provide Internet access, that would solve the problem. So far it's only a rumor and possibly a long way from reality. Thanks for your input... ------------------------------------------- --- Allan --- bond@rtsg.mot.com --- -------------------------------------------
