You cannot use AOL with Linux.  AOL uses no standard protocols; everything
is proprietary.  Therefore, you can use it only on OSs for which they
provide software.  This is only one of many reasons to avoid AOL.  I would
*strongly* recommend switching from AOL to a local or national ISP that
supports PPP.
