calling all techies, basically ice lol

was talking to someone in a hub i use and we were both bitching about AOL. he told me:

-you know you dont have to use the aol software crap to connect to aol ?

-u can connect thru a windows dialer instead of aol software

-means less modem strain and better peformance

apparently it wont do tons but it will give me abit more speed, only abit but i think its worth a try. now how the fook do i do it? lol

if its well technical ill leave it cos the last thing i wanna do is bust this puter up EVEN more than i have already but if anyone knows it would be a nice help

cheers
