If your AOL is anything like the AOL we have here in Australia, then I'm 
not sure this can be done. Here in Australia, it's not a 'true' 
internet, more like an 'internet for dummies', which would be fine, but 
their whole login process is proprietary, so I'm not sure anybody's 
written anything like that for Linux.
