Here's how...
America Online's software
allows you to connect to AOL using your dialup access account from
IOLS via TCP/IP. (Over the Internet from
your IOLS Dialup Access Account.)
AOL also offers a special pricing plan for customers who use AOL via
their IOLS dialup access account.
It's called "Bring Your Own Access" (AOL Keyword:
BYOA)
The "Bring Your Own Access" (BYOA) Plan from AOL is a flat
$14.95 per month for unlimited use of America Online.

Note: If you select
this pricing plan with AOL and then connect to America Online using
one of the AOLnet or SprintNet access numbers, you will incur an

do is...
