There is an AOL dialer for linux, and it works moderately well, meaning that it's a pain in the butt to compile and install, but once you get it installed it works very reliably. It's called Penggy. It used to be called PengAOL for obvious reasons, but then I read somewhere on the internet a couple years ago that AOL threatened to sue it's creator because AOL did not want to have Linux support, and more specifically didn't want the AOL name in the program's name, so they changed the name to Penggy. You can still find the source for it on the internet if you search really hard for it, but it's hard to find. I would compile a .dsl file for it, but the problem is that if AOL threatened to sue Penggy's creator, they might threaten to sue me if I made a .dsl of it and it was distributed. If anybody knows the exact legal aspects that creating a penngy.dsl file could entail, and doesn't think it would be dangerous legally, tell me and I might just make a penggy.dsl. I won't if it could cause me or others legal trouble though.
