Sure is, through the TCP/IP connection .... but, make sure that the directory
that has the file winsock.dll is in the path .. that stopped me for awhile
till I got that straightened out.

Go to Keyword ACCESS on AOL and get the instructions .. oh poo .. let me just
tell you.

Sign on to your ICP/IP provider.
Start AOL
Click on Setup
Click on Edit Location
Change phone connection to TCP/IP
9Change modem speed if necessary] My local connection is 2400, so I had to
change my modem speed to 14/4
Click on save
Click on Ok
Click on Sign on
and very quickly you'll be on at 28/8 (:

You will need a little extention that came with your AOL software ('TCPack
for AOL' for Macs, have no idea what it is called under Windows) With
this extention you will have the option of 'TCP connection' in the AOL
login window.

Connect to your local net provider using PPP/SLIP/SLIRP and then login to AOL.
You will want to get Art Valve while your at it to eliminate any new
graphics from AOL.
