Since i'm stuck using aol

[Weirdy]

bah

 

could've sworn there was another way w/out having to use the shiitie software

 

oh well

 

it's a ISP that aims its service to soccer moms, old ppl or simply anyone that doesn't know how to use a computer

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

which is why i don't understand why they have a dialer.

surely those idiots need to use ALL of the crappy software don't they?

 

but anyways, if you figure anything out, please tell me

I havne't figured anything out

 

I haven't used AOL in more than 3 years

 

but I'm sure you'll find something if you ask around

 

I think they have the dialer so they can monitor everything on their network

 

they want to be able to manage everything so that ppl don't have to

Did some researching, found that AOL9 may offer this soon.

It's funny how they *may* offer it, considering how long AOL has been in business.

[Weirdy]

I wouldn't doubt if pretty soon they were to make their own OS

[Madman]

LOL! If thats like AOL, i'd prefer Win95

[Weirdy]

well..they have been putting out their own computers for $200

 

doesn't come with anything special

actually, they did do that, that's the aoldialer, but like someone else said, it takes 25 megs of memory to run.

 

 

i wouldn't really care, but this laptop is hella slow. and only has like 128 megs of ram and such.

[Madman]

Hmm looks like one lean and clean aoldialer with less ram useage might be a worthy shareware project

But i guess the high ammount of ram needed is due to crappy AOL-DLLs that must be used

Do this, this is something i learned going thru a million dialup ISPs

 

Open your program that dials (AOL) let it connect

 

Now that its connected, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and go to the PROCESSES Tab, Find aol.exe or whatever its called, should be easy, and close it there

 

and your done! woohoo!

 

BTW It only works on OSes with the newer task manager so XP, and i THINK 2000

no, that actually still disconnects I think

 

idk, I haven't use aol in years

[Shibathedog]

damn, AOL has hired ninjas to create the AOL dialer!!!

 

Search for "AOL Progz" on google, youll have to go through tons of retarded websites, but you can find alot of AOL hacks that way that me and a friend used to mess around with, some of them actually do usefull things and i think closing AOL without disconnecting was a feature in one of them

 

Another thing i would suggest, which is probably a better idea, is to search for the program RASspy.exe

 

You have to put that in the same folder as AOL, then make a shortcut to AOL on your desktop, and in the shortcut's command line you add -rasspy.exe and when you dial on to AOL next, it tells you what to enter into the windows dialer to dial on.

 

I remember i used that program a long time ago and im just remembering how to use it from memory so i might be wrong. If you cant find the program i MIGHT have the app and the tutorial on my HDD still somewhere.
