Hello.

Recently, I convinced a friend of mine who has been married to Windows up 
until now to give SUSE Linux a try.  As he needed to rebuild his system due 
to issues with WindowsXP, I built the machine as a dual-boot system with  
SUSE Linux 9.1 Professional.  My buddy likes Linux but the one sticking point 
is that under Windows he uses America Online, and there does not seem to be a 
replacement for the client under Linux.

Has anyone run into this before?  Is there an alternative client I can have 
him use in place of the AOL Windows client.  I don't want to install Wine as 
the system he uses is rather slow and I'm not sure that performance would be 
acceptable.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Jesse
