I wouldn't bet on it being too safe, but I think it is all tied into AOL's internal servers, being advertisements, popups, and the like. AOL doesn't let source code out the door, period. RH is working on some type of client with AOL, so your best bet on finding something out from someone who _may_ have seen some client socket source would be there. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
