Does anyone know how to send mail to someone on the Prodigy network from the Internet and vice versa? I am sure you can do it with Compuserve but I am wondering if it is possible at all with Prodigy. If so, please tell me how. I would appreciate any comments on this. Thanks in advance. William Lee INTERNET: williaml@cs.concordia.ca

You can send mail between Compu$erve and the Internet, but don't count on anything with Prodigy in the near/far foreseeable future (or unforeseeable future for that matter) as they think they're the only network that has any legitimacy. sorry to burst your bubble, but...

It is not possible. Prodigy is unto itself, a closed world.
The only way to send or recieve mail to/from a Prodigy user, is
to be on Prodigy and use their mail system. Being a P* user myself,
I found this to be one of my complaints (among others).

According to the latest issue of Boardwatch Magazine (September '92),
page 23, lower right corner, Prodigy may soon be passing mail back and
forth to the Internet.

Speers IV I read in the August 1992 of Puget Sound Computer User Newspaper (in the Seattle Area) a brief article that Prodigy will have access to Internet by Fall (it doesn't say which year) Seems like this will have an extra cost for p* users, but at least we'll be connected with the rest of the world. alonso, internet: alonsob@microsoft.com alonsob@polari.online.com prodigy : pspb23a

Yeah, I have an Aunt that uses Prodigy, and she went on and
on about how I should sign up for it so that I could pass email back
and forth with her. I just bit my tongue the whole time while thinking
"yeah, ok, I can only reach about 10 million people via Internet, can't
you at least get a Compu$erve account!". Anyways, this'll help family
relations :-)

I suspect the Prodigy censors will be suffering from a major mental short circuit whan that happens. If Email from net users is anything like some of the public postings, They'll (Prodigy) probably shut the gateway down after about a week of overtime dealing with the traffic. Remember, no message about Roosevelt Dimes..... :) -- ...uunet!wa3wbu!frackit!dave -or- | Dave Ratcliffe | frackit!dave@uunet.UU.NET -or- dave@frackit.uucp -or- | Sys. <*> Admin. | vogon1!compnect!frackit!dave@psuvax1.psu.edu | Harrisburg, Pa. |
