well aol and compuserve are practically the same i am working on configuring
compuserve to work on linux based on some success stories, although i seem to
not have that success yet, you wont get much though all that crap aol
provided will be non existent so i suggest getting a new isp, if you are
going to keep windows and like aol on that then just find a temporary isp for
your linux box, there are plenty of low priced or free isps out there. i will
jot down your address and tell you if i succeeded in hooking up compuserve
and i will test aol based on the same script.
have fun
