Is there any way to run aol in OS/2 soI can get on the internet with it instead of having to use win98. Thanx for any help.

I assume that you mean AOL of some version e.g. v7? The dialer? No, unless you have the VPC (Virtual PC) product from Connetix so that you can run Windows 98/NT/2K/XP on OS/2. AOL, IMHO overated as an ISP. Change your account if you can't live without it to a BYOA account (bring your own access) at least $10 a month cheaper, and get a new ISP with a local access number or better yet, Broadband (DSL/Cable).
If you mean IM you can run the IM Quick Buddy (the java version) as an application on OS/2.
Just create a CMD file with this in it:appletviewer http://toc.oscar.aol.com/tic.html
You can also run the web based version of both the IM and use your AOL profile to surf AOL only sites with a browser (www.aol.com), the ads are just as annoying, use an updated browser like the IBM Browser based on Mozilla or Mozilla for OS/2 from the Mozilla.org .
