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?
