The important issue here is that AOL is making a client for Linux.
AOLLinux is pre-alpha software, it was leaked, AOL did not intend for it
to be used outside of office.aol.com. But if you

I haven't tried, but I don't think it's possible because AOL uses their own

I think AOL uses this annoying client software, so you cant get to to
