AOL DSL with Red Hat 9


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm new to Linux. I've always used Windows. My family has AOL DSL Broadband and I was wondering if there is a way to get it working on Red Hat. I've read some things about rp-pppoe, but I'm curious as to how it works and how I do it. Plus AOL DSL isn't static and I need to sign into my name with the screen name and password before my Windows will be signed on. How do I do this in Red Hat 9? If anyone can help, I'd be greatful.

Thanks.

I didn't think it could be done, but a quick google, followed by a few link follows, and I found this howto for pengaol, which should allow you to connect via AOL when using Linux.

Now, AOL is not a Linux-friendly ISP, so I didn't think it could be done.

Let us know if it worked! :yes:

The YoLinux Tutorial seems to be only for Dial-up. It says something about DSL in parentheses, but I didn't see anything in the actual tutorial for it. Anyone else have any ideas?
