AOL and Linux?

[Baron Flambe]

Does anyone know if it's possible to connect to AOL under Linux? I don't want to have to reboot into Windows everytime I want to use the Internet.

I thought of that, but AOL does 24/7 unmetered net access for £15 per month. Not found another deal that good yet.

Goto university - I get 24/7 10mbut connection for £40 a year :P


Can you get ADSL yet?

[Baron Flambe]

Yeah yeah! No, I live the the Peak district and we haven't got cable yet. We can't even get channel 5. Not that that's a big problem, although I do miss Xena.

Yes Counterstrike, I did think of that. However the local authorities tend to get a bit ticked off when you start digging big trenches in the road of your own volition. Also I when I rang NTL and asked if I could plug a cable into their network and run it back to my house they laughed at me... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif
