Ok Did a little research on the AOL site. Seems that they use the same "kind" of systems and modems as the telco's. ie They are simply reselling the telco dsl just like covad and others did, but with the added "feature" of AOL network. Given that. and since it seems they are using the same kinds of external modems the telco's are..
Set up your Linux box to do DHCP external and IpMasq internal (I believe that MCC's internet connection sharing can handle this well enough) Stick the WinME box behind the linux box with the AOL browser junk installed and poof you are online. To log into AOL from a linux box just point netscape at www.aol.com (if you really need to.) My wife logs in to AOL Korea this way and it works fine for her.
