<<Ron, I understand that one can use AOL without a dial-up connection to AOL. Yea, if you use an ISP, you can access AOL through your ISP connection. The question is, "why"?>> I think the question is why use AOL (or Compuserve in my case) as an ISP? It gets expensive if you are charged by the minute, flat rates have lead to capacity problems (though not unheard of anong ISPs either) and Compuserve (don't know about AOL) slows down internet access considerably. Plus, I just don't use Compuserve much anymore and may drop it altogether. If you travel it is nice to have local access in various cities and that is a plus for AOL and CIS.
