AOL Linux security
I have 2 questions, thanx in advance...
1)How could i use AOL in linux?
2)How could i do question1 witha firewall?
For question 1, i used AOL's dial-up number (393-5000), but its said it wasn't allowed to connect to the port it was connecting to.
I really don't like Windows, so i have a dual boot computer. 1 partition is Windows ME, another with XP, and another with Red Hat Linux 7.2. Any help would be appreciated. thanx

Huh, image that.
I got a new pc a while ago, and it came with one free year aol... so I registered it to use for dial up access when I didn't have broadband... problem was... my laptop is linux.
AOL said that they didn't support Linux and that there was no way possible to connect to their network using linux...
lying bastards!
Anyway, just as well... I hate aol.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

I like to think of aol as a bloodsucking company anyhow.So your best bet would be to not run their lame service at all
