So is there a service that compares with AOL, allows Linux

I was unaware that any ISP could decide which operating system you
computer
could use - how do they do this?

AOL is proprietary software that you need to install to get online with
them. Their software dials up, not Windows DUN. They even install some
sort of virtual network driver for the broadband. They have software for
Windows and Mac, not for Linux. AFAIK this is still the case and there is
therefore no way you can get online with them unless you install their
crappy software.

As if it were needed - yet another reason to never ever use such a
diabolical service!
