Right on the first count, wrong on the second.  Prodigy doesn't yet
offer an email connection to the Internet, but they plan to Real Soon
Now.  I don't have any information about the timeframe to expect it
in.  If you can get your hands on copies of Boardwatch magazine from
the past few months there have been news blurbs in there about it.

Look in the info-mac/reports directory at Sumex-Aim.  There is a report
called "ftp-sites" or something like that.  You'll be able to waste
many happy hourse exploring them all.

   I'd probably start out with a book called Zen and the Art of the

   from the heavens somewhere -- IP quads aren't typically outside of
   0-255.)

It's kind of hard to get higher than 255 with an octet (8 bits).
IP addresses are 32-bit quantities, which can be written in different
ways, but the most common is a.b.c.d, where each a,b,c,d is decimal
or hexadecimal for an octet.

Your machine knows what network it's on.  If your machine is to send
something to another network, it has to know about a gateway to other
nets.  Gateways exchange info about what nets they're connected to.

I use rn, but don't seem to notice this problem - maybe I am only reading
unpopular groups :)

I presume the original poster is familiar with the use of ^N (control-n)
to skip to the next article in the particular thread he is reading?  And
I guess it *is* true that once you've finished that series and use = to
view all the subjects again, they do start from scratch even though the
pointer remains at the last article you actually read.  But there is a
certain logic in this because, if you have been skipping through the
articles on a particular thread, you may well have skipped past other
subjects you would like to read, and you would never see these if the
listing simply started from the current position next time you hit =
to see the headings of the unread articles.

I heard that they restrict the number of email messages that a person
can send per month, and that moreover they instigated this policy after
someone mailed messages to a large number of subscribers protesting
Prodigy's policy of censoring the bulletin boards. That person claimed
his subscription was terminated without notice, without his having
violated any existing rules or regulations, and without the opportunity
to retrieve valuable files that he had on the system.

Use "?.?k" to kill all the articles before the one you are currently on.
I don't know how to redirect the output but "rn -t" may help reduce the
output (terse mode).

Hope this helps.

   Yes, it is.  If you try to deny them permission, they will not allow
you to stay subscribed.  Censorship is still censorship, even with the
permission of the one being censored.

Ron, 
Please get your facts straight before you go spewing on a worldwide
newsgroup such as this.  Prodigy announced, quite a while back, that
they would indeed implement such a gateway.  I have heard from 
several sources that the gateway will be up and running very soon.  
In fact, they already have a name registered with the NIC: prodigy.com.

I'm not for or against Prodigy, in fact I have never used it.  But it
peeves me to read such opinionated drivel when it's clear that the poster
doesn't have the slightest idea what he's talking about.

Followups to alt.flame.

Regarding sending to CIS, to send to account 76207,2033, you would 
address the message 76207.2033@compuserve.com.  This seems to work well
as long as not files are attached.

Looks like you have added groups using the 'a' command or using the
'o' command to select groups. What the 'a' and 'o' do is to restrict the
selection to the pattern you specify with them and until there are '0
unread articles' in them rn just cycles through them. By just
specifying 'a' or 'o' without a pattern you will get out of the
restricted set of groups. More info on 'a' and 'o' should be in the

   Prodigy reserves the right to violate yor privacy whenever

You have not supplied much info on what is actually occurring but...
If you are using a terminal emulator and telnet to where your news reader
is, then maybe your TERM environment variable is incorrectly set.  I get
something like what you describe when the host supplies vt200 escape
sequences to a vt100 terminal.  All text comes out in reverse video.
If this is the problem then 'setenv TERM vt100' otherwise disreguard.
