   I recently read that Prodigy is now connected to the Internet.  Is it 
possible to send and receive mail from a user on Prodigy via the internet?
If it is possible, what does the mail address look like?

		Thanks,

		Bill

True.  The host 'InetGate.PRODIGY.COM' answers my "ping" requests,
so they are "connected".

True, that is what PRODIGY has announced for their plans.
I haven't recently connected to PRODIGY, so I don't know the exact details.

Prodigy does now have a connection to the Internet, and they have
announced plans to provide a gateway between Prodigy and the Internet,
but it is not yet in production.  I am sure that they will announce
the availability of the gateway as soon as it is turned on (I would
presume in the 2-3 month timeframe).
