Linux Firewall/NAT to access AOL?

[Warren Togami]

REPOST 2

Sure, this is easy, but you need another ISP to do it.  The AOL client can
connect via plain TCP/IP rather than a modem, so just do regular NAT through
another ISP, then the AOL client works fine on all machines behind the
firewall.

> Now that is a question I never thought I would ask!!!!  Basically Sandi's
parents and little sister use AOL (not changeable).  They have an iMac and a
Windows 98 PC.  Each computer has dial-up to AOL and they only have one
phone line.  I was thinking about setting up a linux system to do
dial-on-demand, firewall, and NAT for them, leaving the AOL software on the
iMac and the Win98 system.  Does anyone know if that is possible?  The
sister and us keep pushing the cable modem thing and keep getting shot down.
