Exhibit 99.2

Prodigy Communications Corporation
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information


          On October 5, 1999, Prodigy Communications Corporation ("Prodigy")
acquired the BizOnThe.Net web hosting business and subscribers (the "Business,"
or "BizOnThe.Net") of U.S. Republic Communications, Inc. ("USR"), an indirect
majority-owned subsidiary of VarTec Telecom, Inc. ("VarTec"). The acquisition
was effected pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 7,
1999, by and among Prodigy, USR, VarTec, VarTec Telecom Holding Company, T. Gary
Remy and Tom D. Johnson (the "Agreement").

          At the closing, Prodigy issued to USR 2,113,721 shares of Prodigy
common stock and repaid a $9 million loan from VarTec to USR. Prodigy also
issued an additional 727,272 shares into an escrow account. Some or all of these
escrowed shares will be released to USR at various times over the two-year
period following the closing. The escrow account secures the indemnification
obligations of USR and USR's shareholders as well as certain post-closing
adjustments, as more fully described in the Agreement. In addition to the
shares and amounts paid at closing, in 2001 Prodigy will be required to issue up
to 727,272 shares, contingent upon the attainment by the acquired business of
specified earn-out targets.

          The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
(the "Pro Forma Statement of Operations") for the year ended December 31, 1998
and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 gives effect to the acquisition of
the Business as if it had occurred January 1, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The
Pro Forma Statement of Operations is based on historical results of operations
of Prodigy for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and the historical results of the Business for the period
from January 6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of September 30, 1999 (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet") gives effect to the
acquisition of the Business as if the acquisition had occurred on that date. The
Pro Forma Balance Sheet is based on the historical balance sheet of Prodigy as
of September 30, 1999 and the historical balance sheet of the Business as of
September 30, 1999. The Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Pro Forma Balance
Sheet and the accompanying notes (collective the "Pro Forma Financial
Information") should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of the Prodigy and notes thereto.

          The Pro Forma Financial Information is intended for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the future financial position
or future results of operations of the consolidated company after the
acquisition of the Business, or of the financial position or results of
operations of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the
acquisition of the Business been effected as of the dates described above.
Moreover, the results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the fill year.

</TABLE>

The BizOnThe.Net liabilities which were assumed by Prodigy exclude liabilities
included in the September 30, 1999 financial statements on an allocated basis
as these amounts were paid by VarTec/USR prior to consummation.

    (c) Adjustment to record the fair value of BizOnThe.Net's internally
    developed software based on independent valuations performed.

    (d) Adjustment to record the fair value of identifiable intangible assets
    acquired including tradename and customer relationships based on independent
    valuations performed.

    (e) Adjustment to eliminate BizOnThe.Net net liability.

    (f) Adjustment to reflect the issuance of 2,113,721 shares of common stock
    issued in connection with the BizOnThe.Net acquisition valued at $17.05 per
    share which represents the average market value of a Prodigy share
    immediately before and after the terms of the acquisition were announced.
    This resulted in $21 of common stock and $36,018 of additional paid-in
    capital. This amount excludes the 727,272 shares held in escrow and the
    727,272 shares to be issued in 2001 pending resolution of the related
    contingencies.

2.  (a) Reclassification of certain costs related to costs of revenue to conform
    with Prodigy presentation.

    (b) Adjustment of amortization and depreciation to reflect the amortization
    of goodwill, software and other intangible assets which will be amortized
    over a period of three years, the expected period of benefit.

    (c) Adjustment to remove interest expense on VarTec note payable to reflect
    the repayment of the Note in connection with the acquisition of
    BizOnThe.Net.

    (d) Adjustment of the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
    used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share to reflect issuance
    of 2,113,721 shares of common stock as of January 1, 1999 and January 1,
    1998.
