Uhhh, thats a massive understatement... There is absolutely utterly NO 
support for either msn or aol under Linux. After days of searching I was able 
to find a very primitive bit of code some college student wrote which could 
dial into AOL's network and sign on, but it couldn't even transfer data 
beyond that.... Their protocol is highly proprietary it seems, though based 
on X.25 maybe?
