[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Prodigy Input Parameters & 9600 Baud Option

lampson@tellabs.com (Dave Lampson) (03/24/91)

The MSDOS version of the Prodigy software shows that the program takes up to
10 input parameters.  I know the first parameter is a nickname for autologin,
but does anyone have the definition for all of the other input parameters?  

Also, in browsing through the  other files in the directory, it appears there 
is some capability for 9600 baud.  Does anyone know how to get this set up?

Thanks.

You get better email access with Compuserve, MCI Mail, or any other
commercial email system than Prodigy. Also the other services do not
read your email. PRODIGY AUTOMATICALLY READS ALL EMAIL SENT THROUGH IT.
Messages flagged by their filter program as having questionable words
are then reviewed by a underpaid and overworked menial laborer.
IF THEY DECIDE YOUR EMAIL IS UNSUITABLE FOR PRODIGY'S IMAGE, IT
IS NOT SENT.
