No > This is a continuation of the core issue of preserving the AOL >address but not using AOL software. Our current plans are to add a >non-AOL ISP, dial that, then go to AOL from there (that's what I do). You can do that (but you already know that, since you are already doing it). >The "customer" (father in law) already has AOL ISP (dial up). Can >we use that without running AOL software? But you can't do that. AOL's Dialups are only available using the AOL software (or in some limited cases like using Emailer to dial in to get email, and I believe there are some PDA AOL clients out there that are not made by AOL). But as far as general use internet access over AOL dialup, you MUST use the AOL software to start the connection. The good news to this is, once you are connected using the AOL software, you can safely hide it or put it in the background or whatever (you can't quit it as that will disconnect you). Then you can use any other internet software you please. So you are not forced to use the AOL software for anything OTHER than making the connection to AOL's dialup numbers. (the exception is, if you are dialed on to AOL's numbers, you can't use Emailer's TCP/IP connection to get AOL email. It will be viewed as a 2nd connection attempt and will be rejected... to use Emailer for the AOL mail, you would first have to disconnect from AOL, then let Emailer dial back on to get the mail... annoying, but it is the only way). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
