I am sure I read somewhere on the AOL site that you can now connect to AOL without using their bl**** client if you have broadband.

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
