Hi,

I think you've got the wrong list.  You could perhaps try kde-user, or 
debian-user, or perhaps AOL's customer service.

Ignoring the obvious question of why you'd bother, why don't you try? Load up 
kppp, enter the telephone number, username and password. 

I did a very quick search (shown below) and it seems you can connect using 
Debian by using the penggy program.  I expect penggy works in any other 
distro even if they don't include it as standard. No doubt google could tell 
you more.
