Greetings
I do not know if, under 10.2.2, AOL will dial and connect with AOL
then Emailer do TCP/IP in Classic, but it could work and you may try that.
I tackled this on my father in law's 800 mhz iMac about 6 months
ago. The system we are on is 10.1.5.
What we do is:
(1) Use Internet Connect under 10.1.5 to connect to the internet
through any ISP or connection OTHER than AOL.
(2) Use Emailer.
It is not possible to dial AOL numbers and connect without using AOL
software, in my experience.
I know you said Internet Connect was not an option. My father in
law moved from AOL dial up on a Mac 7100 to what we have. Because
Emailer works in Classic and Internet Connect works under 10 we went to
the system, above.
At the end of the day we ended up with this procedure and config:
(1) Access Internet through dial up using Internet Connect. We
settled on Surfbest at $12.50 @ month.

(2) Run Emailer and TCP/IP connect with AOL. We use AOL $4.95 @
month.
(3) We surf with Netscape, but anything can be used.
(3) Total package runs $17.45 @ month.
Before the move to the iMac we were running AOL 4.0 on the 7100 to
connect, then running emailer to do mail.
