AOL does not support Linux (although there is at least the Instant
Messenger for Linux resp. some clones...). Moreover, they use a
proprietary protocol.
But you might find what you are looking for in one of my postings, an
answer to virtually the same question. Here it is:

Hi,
you/your girlfriend are/is lucky!
Indeed, it is possible to check one's AOL mail via Netscape under
Linux. There is a preview version of Netmail that works quite well
under Linux, I don't mean the other version of Netmail which requires
a plug-in for netscape.
Check this URL: http://netmail.web.aol.com/main.dci

To my best knowledge, NFS on Linux just doesn't work well. I know they were
originally planning to fix it in 2.2, and I believe some improvements did go
in, but I'm not sure if it can be called 'fixed' yet. I vaguely recall
something about Linux <-> Sun transfers as being one of the worst culprits. I
think it had something to do with block sizes.

I decided to bone up on sendmail.cf for the first question. For the
second, I can't find any mention of 'vacation' on my server. Both
'man' and 'apropos' turn up blank. I had a look on www.linux.org/ but
there is no mention of it there, either, and Freshmeat is undergoing
an upgrade at the moment. A search for the words 'linux' and
'vacation' on www.deja.com/ wasn't much better.
Does anyone have any more information on this somewhat fascinating

I don't know about that, I've got a Dell OptiPlex 250 sitting next to a
Sparc Ultra 10, and Netscape on the Ultra doesnt load as fast as IE on 98.
The last version of Netscape I found good was 3.2 or 3.0.2 about three years
ago. It screamed but then the feature fat got a hold of it.

Wrong. Read: man securetty
The /etc/securetty file controls where root can login. If you add the right

I had posted this article a couple of weeks ago, after listening, endlessly
about how NT couldn't SMP, or Cluster, or stay up 99.8% of the time.
"In 1998, the Microsoft Web site team achieved the long-term goal set in
1997 to attain 99.8% availability. When talking about or referring to
availability, we have two classifications to increase granularity: server
availability and user availability - both of which are equally important.
Server availability refers to the overall healthiness of the site's servers.
This means the servers are "capable" of serving a request; that is, the
server is not in an unknown or locked state and the INETINFO process is
functioning correctly.
User availability is the experience the user has when she requests a page or
data from the site's servers. Does she receive the response that was
requested? Examples of user availability problems include error messages
such as the 500 Server Too Busy error. When you're looking at server
availability, this is OK since the server is still responding. For user
availability, it is not."
They achieved the 99.8% availability of the site, with a very heavy load.
But you can draw your own conclusions.

Subject: Can't ping anything.

Hi!
I've got problems trying to get my network card working under linux.
I can't ping anything except my own host. I've searched dejanews and
read the proper HOWTOs, but I came up empty so I would appreciate
some help with this. The problems started after a fresh install of
SuSE 6.1. Before that I ran Redhat 5.0 and had no troubles with the
network on this machine. It also works under Win98 (which is where
I'm posting from) on the same machine, with the same IRQs, IO-ports,
IP-addresses etc.
When I ping a machine not on this network:
bash-2.02# ping 192.168.255.10
PING 192.168.255.10 (192.168.255.10): 56 data bytes
[I get bored and press C-C]
--- 192.168.255.10 ping statistics ---
13 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
The same thing happens when I try to ping my gateway:
bash-2.02# ping 172.23.0.1
PING 172.23.0.1 (172.23.0.1): 56 data bytes
--- 172.23.0.1 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
The card is setup properly (it's a PCI NE2000 clone, Via 82C926),
no IRQ conflicts or anything, it's detected upon boot, and it is
loaded into the kernel.

Turns out this is a known bug which has already been reported to Red Hat and
fixed. I found an updated floppy image that had the VIA Rhine driver in the
"updates" subdirectory on the FTP tree. Silly me, I was just assuming that
the one in the "images" directory would have been the most current. One
thing I'm quickly learning about Linux is that the only thing my assumptions
are good for is making an ass out of you and mption.

Even worse --- a horrible failure of logic.
let X be an app. Then the "caveot" says
X is linux app ===> X is Solaris app
which Chad tries to argue. However, he does so by showing
There exists an app Y such that
Y is a Solaris app ===> Y is a linux app
does not hold.
Of course, that is not surprising. After all, VW beetles are cars, i.e.
X is VW beetle ===> X is car
while not all cars are VW beetles
There exists a thing Y such that
Y is a car ===> Y is a VW beetle
does not hold.
What he would need to find is something that is _not a car_, and yet is
a VW beetle (or _not a Solaris app_, and yet a linux app).
