 There is some code somewhere that you can
download for Linux so you can use AOL.
And If I remember correctly, it works or
at least it did work about 6 to 12 months ago.
I even have it on CD somewhere.
 If I had to I guess I could find the link again
or you could just use google and use
the key words "Linux AOL client".
I think it was developed in France or somewhere
like that.
