AOL is the ISP and the interface in one package.
I'm not familiar with AOL so I don't know if you can logon and
use another browser like Netsacpe or Internet Explorer. If you
can, you might try to logon to AOL with LINUX(KPPP)and see if you
can use Netscape or whatever browser you use. Email is another
story so I won't address it now.
Other Options:
Do you have an allowance? Can you wash cars, mow lawns, do general
around the house fix ups? Paint house numbers on the curb? Then you
can earn enough on a weekend to get your own ISP at $20.00 a month.
