I, too, used Prodigy during the freebee period and was less than enthused. 
During a previous incarnation, I was one of the developers on Citibanks home
banking system and really missed it when I left the company.  Prodigy
interested me because of the gateways to several other banks.  At the time
they were all in the East and Southeast so I declined.  Then I ran into a
service call CheckFree.  I have been using it since last January and have no
major complaints.  Unlike the other services, you can do business from any
bank.  The only drawback here is that you cannot directly access you account
on-line to determine exactly what has/hasn't cleared.  If you are looking at
Prodigy only because of the banking, I would suggest that you examine
CheckFree also.

Good Luck,

Bill Dewey
