E-mail retrieval through Prodigy

Although your magazine emphasizes CompuServe (probably because of the Forums), for my purposes, Prodigy's DOS based e-mail program is ideal.

I'm in the software consulting business and when I travel I bring my HP 200LX with 6-MB APEX Fax/ Modem card. When I get to a new city I call Prodigy's 800 number and ask for the local phone number. Then I make a local call and download/upload my mail (including attachments). The mail program has lots of options for attachments, folders, logging, spell checking and more. Prodigy and the mail program take up about 2-3 MB. It's not fast and you can't charge a call to your calling card, but it's only $4.95 if you have a Prodigy account.
