Dear Folks,

I used to use a friend's computer, and I used icq on that. Here on my own setup, I have aol as my server, and aol furnishes my browser, too. When I tried the blue clicky thing above, my address box only showed icq's url for a moment, then it changed to some aol homepage. I lost my connection to mudcat, as well as being unable to get icq. Was this probably just an accident, or is this something that AOL just DOES, cause it doesn't want people to use other services similiar to its own?

I can chat with people on my aol buddy list, but I can only have other aol members on there. I have been thinking about switching to another ISP. Have other people gone through frustrations with aol? Did you switch, or stay with them?

Mary
