I had problems with a 2400 baud PC modem when I first joined Prodigy. Switching
to 1200 helped... buying an external Hayes 2400 finally fixed the problem.
Prodigy has been especially unforgiving of line noise. 
I haven't seen it on a Mac, but understand it doesn't work with Multifinder. On
a PC it has problems with TSRs, but people have hacked together some useful
utilities (print screen, print-to-disk, capture text from "graphics" screens,
etc.)
