[ale] AOL dialup for Linux?

Does anyone have any links to projects on getting a dialup AOL account 
working under Linux?  I'd like to complete a setup for my father who has 
AOL.  I've provided a Linux workstation/server but can't turn it into 
the dialup server/firewall I'd like to since I don't have a way for it 
to talk with AOL.  Has someone already figured this out?  I'd want the 
Linux server to do the dialup and masquerading for the home network.  
The Windows clients behind the Linux server would run the AOL software 
to get the normal client services/environment that AOL provides.

I've already talked with them about switching providers but they aren't 
interested.  AOL fits them well except for the single phone line but two 
computers with modems.  I'm looking for an AOL/Linux dialup solution not 
any changes in the AOL software my parents use.
Thanks,
Dow
