While you are connected to the internet, bring up AOL. At the
login screen, at the bottom, there is a drop down box for selecting
different "locations". Select "web", then log in as normal. If
"web" doesn't show up, you might need to visit the setup box on
that login screen, where you "add a connection" and then pick TCP/IP
from the list.
The connection and login are as normal, except that you will be entering
AOL via your DSL connection. The difference in speed between two 28.8
modem connections is noticeable. I assume DSL would be better ;-)
If it works for you, then you can go to the account setup page in AOL and
change to a "bring your own access" plan, which is listed as $9.95, but I
am charged $4.95. I don't know if I prowled farther, and picked a
limited hours type or not.
