I am with AOL for their reliability which is great, but their software isn't. Demon are too expensive (more than broadband!) and I can't find anything else reliable enough for my needs. ADSL/Cable aren't available where I live. Anyway my question is, is there a way to use AOL with smoothwall (ie. without the AOL software). Does anyone know a way to do this, or have any other suggestions?
Apparently a future release will allow you to connect using aol, but I do not know if this will be the pay version or the gpl version. Do a search for press releases on the website, I think thats where I read about it.
Take a look at StarBand [ http://www.starband.com/ ] StarBand is America's first consumer two-way, always-on, high-speed satellite Internet service. If you are looking for other chatting capabilities, why not download AOL IM? You can still chat with AOL members.
