	<chuckle> The opportunity for smart remarks is hard to pass
up.  But I'll be nice.  ;-)

	Prodigy is a closed system as of the time being, and I know of
no plans to gate it to any known network.  Prodigy, despite what the
users may think, is thought of by it's management as an electronic
mall.  Users of Prodigy are there to look at ads and buy things, not
to actually communicate, the management believes.

	You could probably get more info from the folks at comp.mail.misc.
