hey hey...
i'm in the UK and i have a friend on an AOL - ADSL service. Now i'm guessing that in the US you have to use the AOL software too... i'm sure that there's a way of using AOL internet without having to use their damn software.

i don't know anything about AOL and have little knowledge of DSL too... so would someone be able to tell me or at least point me in the direction of a website that has info about using AOL BB without their crappy software. :-)

cheers

I think you are chasing your tail. If they are using PPPoE, you have to authenticate, period. Your DSL circuit is routed to AOL's router, which passes your auth to a radius of some type for authentication, which means no.

hmmm... that's poop... so there's no way for him to connect to his isp without using their crappy software! is there no other way of authenticating?

thanks
