Brewzzin Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 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. :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted March 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 7, 2004 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. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html Now, AOL is not a Linux-friendly ISP, so I didn't think it could be done. Let us know if it worked! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewzzin Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 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? :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
