RE: [PLUG] AOL in Linux


Can't you just get a "bring your own access" plan from AOL and hook up with
any ole DSL provider? I swear I heard that somewhere.....

Considering the, seemingly intentional, obstacles for using AOL under
Linux or a router (Put another way: Obstacles for using AOL under
anything other than Windows and AOL software.), I feel compelled to
comment on this.  You can get videos anywhere on the Internet.  Live
technical help; what do you use it for?  Try becoming accustomed to the
true layout of the Web and the Internet. Forget about that AOL garbage!

The commercials for AOL Broadband sound nice on the surface.  Spam
filtering, virus scanning, and...that's all I can thing of right now.
 But the price, both control wise and price wise, is too high for me.
