Does anyone know how the PRODIGY service from Sears/IBM handles the
communications between the PC and the host machine?  I was wondering whether
it was custom software or whether there is an available library of functions
that provide the transport layer over a dialup link.  I'm assuming that they
are using some error correcting protocol.  Thanks for any info you can give.
