I would shop around for an Internet Service Provider in your area. Call them and ask them what they know of Linux. AOL uses their own proprietary protocol to link your pc to their pc's.

Linux has support for PPP connections using PAP, CHAP, and chat authentication. > > ____________________________________________________________________ > More than just email--Get your FREE Netscape WebMail account today at > http://home.netscape.com/netcenter/mail > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Jim Foltz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
