I don't use AOL so can't answer your first question. But as for your second, I think any ISP will be good for Linux if they provide you with a (wireless) router or cable modem, since your PC then connects to them by LAN. Linux problems usually occur because of the lack of non-Windows drivers for USB modems. I use Telewest broadband at uni and we have a cable modem connected to a switch. It all works fine - SuSE connects by DCHP without me doing anything.
