ok after alot of seaching i've got my modem installed, the dsl light comes on and the program tries to connect i ctrl + c to stop the app dsl light stays on, which i think is good.
i them run rp-pppoe enter details, and layout people have said to do.
nothing, all i get is a timeout, does anyone know how to sort this out?
i can't remember all steps but i put in my username without @aol.com
i entered my password then i put aol.com in the service provider part then click start or whatever.

so once again if anyone knows how to sort this please let me know
i am on adsl 1.1mb from aol, on a bt phone line.

You need to use username@aol.com

i got some help on aol boards, and it helped, the vci and vpi numbers where off and it worked
just it timed out on connect if u check the text above snapshop 17 and then snapshot 17 u'll see.
once i get this done, i think ima write a lil tut on how to connect to aol using dsl.
hell if i can remember all steps i'll include the 56k tutorial also, seeing as i have done both.

guide
go there to see how and what settings i used to get online with aol on linux
hope it helps
