Actually, I'm told that AOL *will* allow you to connect to their service
through another ISP.... so that's not entirely accurate...however, I think
you're correct that they still have to have the AOL software, at least for
mail, etc...

> Even if you were able to get your modem to work or dial in with KPPP or
what ever you are using, AOL will not work like that. You need the actual
AOL program to get on the internet with AOL and they do not make one for
Linux. It wont work for any dialing program like KPPP or Dial Up Netowrking
in windows. You need the actual program. AOL with wine doesn't work either.
It just crashes when you try to dial.
