says that a lot of the
AOL software people are Linux users, but none access AOL
through Linux. He discourages me from trying.
Maybe once WINE or WILLOWS is up we can use their software.

Is it possible to connect to the Internet through AOL? I'm installing Debaian
v2.0 via floppy and ftp, and need internet access to complete the
installation. Any alternative suggestions welcome. Thanx!
More than just
would shop around for an Internet Service Provider in your area. Call them
and ask them what they know of Linux.
AOL uses their own proprietary protocol to link your pc to their pc's. That
is why you need to use AOL's software, which is not avalable for Linux.
Linux has support for PPP
You'll definately need another ISP, but once you have one, using WINE,
the Windows Emulator, you can connect to AOL using the PPP/ethernet type
connect. You'll never get your modem working with it, so don't bother
trying to not get another ISP. You can actually connect to AOL and check
your mail,
