Yes, I have AOheLl.

It was the easiest way to get my folks on line, so I bit the bullet and got 
an account so I can do tech support for them.

AOL has a million different options.  There's the standard unlimited - but 
lesser known is that you can get your ISP/DSL connection and for like $5 use 
them for your email (since you aren't using their modem pool).  Also, since 
they have a login web interface, even if you are without a computer, you can 
beg, borrow and steal access through a friend, cyber cafe, or any PC laying 
around, without having to have the whole kit and kaboodle installed.  

Yes, it's annoying - but convenient when you are in the UK or Caribbean.

They also have other plans where you can get 5, 10, 20 hours a month at the 
reduced rate from the unlimited access fees.

Regards, 
Joanna
