According to AOL's staff, this error means that you do need AOL's  
software. AOL is a service, not an ISP. As such it requires several MS  
Windows files to access several servers' services simultaneously. This is  
the reason AOL's software turns IE 6 into the AOL browser.

AOL and Linux do not mix well. Yahoo is now a similar AT&T service  
likewise inimical with respect to Linux. These services expect MS Windows  
XP SP3 or higher, but not BL3. Even Windows 2000 is oft prone to errors as  
unsuported.

Disgustingly poor anti-Linux coding!
