A couple weeks back I added a new HD and installed 9.0 on it for a friend's daughter (12 Y.O.) who is absolutely delighted with it and not looking to boot into the windows side again IF she can get connected to the internet with Linux. Problem is that she needed a new modem (real modem - that problem fixed over the weekend) but the ONLY source they have where they live is AOL. Not being familiar with AOL, can someone give me some advice that I can share with them as to how we get them on line with the modem and AOL. I'm fairly sure I know the modem part, but it's the AOL portion with which I don't have a clue.
David... Last time I checked, there was no such thing as AOL on Linux.
Actually, there are AOL clients available for Linux. They just aren't put out by AOL or supported by them.
As far as I can tell, one of them is located at http://www.pengaol.apinc.org/. Problem is, I don't read french.
But I do seem to recall that it's out there.

OK, I looked into it a bit and found this site http://www.peng.apinc.org/eng/ It is a french group creating a Linux client for AOL. The program is called penggy. HTH.
