Your question is posed a bit too succinctly for me to give a good reply.
What do you mean?

1. Can you set up a Linux host to connect to your ISP? Yes, sure, with an
appropriate modem (well, kind of ... I don't think you can connect to AOL,
unless Wine will run AOL's client software). Read the PPP HowTo for starters.

2. Can you use Linux to set up a server for an ISP? Again, yes ... I've done
it in the past (on a very small scale) and I have a friend who runs a small
ISP this way. Again, the PPP HowTo will start you off, although it's not
complete enough to get you in business ... but this isn't really a beginner
exercise, either.

The PPP HowTo is probably on your Linux host (look in /usr/doc somewhere;
exact location varies by distribution and version), or can be found at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO.html .
