Speed problems aside, Prodigy also completely lacks any modem configuration file. It was a total pain to set up, say, a Telebit to operate with the Prodigy software. Then, after you use Prodigy, you have to undo all the changes (about a dozen registers need changing) in order to restore a Telebit to sanity for UUCP. And if the modem cannot be put into a Hayes compatible mode (like my old AT&T 2400 baud modem) you can completely forget using Prodigy. -- Rick Richardson | Looking for FAX software for UNIX ?????? mention PC Research,Inc.| WE'RE SHIPPING your uunet!pcrat!rick| Ask about FaxiX - UNIX Facsimile System (tm) FAX # (201) 389-8963 | Or JetRoff - troff postprocessor for the HP {Laser,Desk}Jet
