Question AOL CAble modem and Linux


I have AOL Broadband Cable (Cable Modem), and I want to use Linux with it. As you know, AOL doesn't support Linux (they don't have any AOL x.x for Linux). There is any way to connect to the internet through AOL?

Thank you

I don't know about AOL but I'm using cable service which supports DHCP. If AOL is using DHCP you shouldn't have any problems getting it to work

Thank you..but it seems you need a special software. AOL has its own protocol, that;s why you need your software.

I have the same problem, and I called AOL and they said that I need a Linux router with the firmware for AOL. They said that almost any computer store should have them, but I don't know since I haven't gone looking for one yet. Good Luck
