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
don't look at it as something you're being denied...look at it as
something you're being liberated FROM!

AOL for Linux is a reality, for better or for worse.
The project is called GAMERA, and it seems to use
Netscape 6 instead of IE.
Read about it here:

AOL wont write software for linux, because anyone who uses linux wont want
an isp that wants to use a client program.

still want AOL, here's the deal:

I understand that there are a few ISPs that will
support connecting through linux. My experience is
that if you tell them you use linux they will stone
wall and get rid of you as fast as they can. This is
with @home, USWest and a dialup ISP called WebAmerica
network.

I understand what you're saying Adrian, but that's one of the very things
that makes Linux so atractive to "seasoned" linux, and computer users. the
total lack of frills and fluff that just "any" potential user would want
to pickup. Let's face it. If you REALLY want to use Linux there is a

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

you dns numbers (don't tell them it's for linux) and a dial up number though
and you might be able to set it up with kppp or equivalent. You might
AOL uses it's own special login software and so it's impossible to connect to

Maybe with VMware inside a WinXX host. But short of this, there's no way.
Use a real internet provider instead.
