Back when Prodigy first came into existance, I called in about an Amiga 
product, and was informed that nothing of the sort existed.  So I asked 
them if they could send me a list of the comm sequences they used so 
I could roll my own.  They said there were essentially no differences 
between Prodigy and one of the public graphic protocols (that I can't
remember the name of right now.)  Unfortunately I soon heard enough 
reports from other users about Prodigy, that I never bothered to stumble
down to archives and look it up. 

Anyway, you might be able to get the same information from them if you 
were to ask for it specifically. -kls
