I'd like to sign on with a local ISP (which I have done, >& it connects but won't go anywhere) & get to AOL thru it. Is this possible? Nancy, I belive that AOL is very proprietary, but if your local ISP doesn't go to the Internet, you won't be able to Telnet into AOL anyway. I find it hard to believe that any ISP would be without Internet access however. I have two ISP's but I also have two separate telephone lines for them and that works out much better for me at least. just me, Marjorie
