AOL Connection Not Possible With Linux

Support knowledgebase (cep_aol_com)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: All versions

Situation:

You want to configure your Internet access with AOL.

Solution:

Currently it is not possible to configure an Internet access with AOL under Linux.

AOL still uses a specific, not freely available protocol.

As opposed to Compuserve (in the mean time an AOL subsidiary) and T-Online, a PPP connection is not possible at present. When asked about it, AOL informs that only Microsoft and Apple platforms are supported.
