I sent this to Don Mathis via Email earlier this morning, but it seems like
there may be some wider interest in this. The following article appeared in
the Internet's Telecom Digest newsgroup a little while ago.

Prodigy _is_ planning an Internet gateway that should be available by
the end of the year. Evidently they will demand $20/mo. for the

postmaster??
