Since i'm stuck using aol

[Elazul Yagami]

Well since i'm stuck using AOL (too long a story to relay), i was wondering if anyone knew how to dial into aol WITHOUT using the aol software or Aol Dialer. i.e using basic windows dial up.

 

 

there was a way to do this with netzero a long time ago (cause apparently netzero and windows both encrypt your password and username, and there's a way to get to them from a system file) but it doesn't work for aol.

 

anyone know how to do it?

Can't you just use AOL to dial up and then use your own browser?

no, because the gay ass Gay O' Hell browser still takes up memory (around 25mbs)

 

I think there's a way you can configure your 56k modem to dial random local access numbers when necessary

Someone should pass a bill that would make AOL and it's distribution on any medium or form illegal.

or make them send cdrw's with the app in it so we can erase em later

i don't care if it dials random access numbers or not, i just DON"T want to use the aol browser or dialer, i want to reach the encrypted password and username, put them in regular dial up networking, and dial in using one of the aol numbers i already use.

get sbc its worth it once u starting using BT

[Elazul Yagami]

what's sbc?

 

if it's a isp, then you missed the point of the topic, i'm STUCK using Aol... as in i have no choice.

 

if it's a program or software, then do elaborate please.

[Gryph]

SBC is an ISP. Don't even bother reading Ryuken's posts, I think he has a major comprehension problem.

 

But I don't think you can dial into AOL with Dial Up Networking because according to this they use their own Winsock, whatever that is. http://www.sharkyforums.com/archive/index.php/t-88757.html

[Agozer]

If AOL is really using their own, tailored Winsock, rather than Microsoft's, that's one more reason to hate AOL.

 

They're basically forcing users to use their services no matter what.

[Elazul Yagami]

has anyone coded a custom version of the dialer then?

a aoldialerLITE ?

 

 

edit: well i was told before that there's a file on the system that logs all internet connections, both failed and attempted... i coudl probably figure something out if i find out what the file is.

 

anyone know it?
