I would look, for sure.  There used to be a Win95 update page out there, not
run by MS, that had links to different updates for Dial-Up Networking and
other parts of Win95.  Some of the links were on the MS site, but many
didn't appear to be.  I used that page once to update my Dad's PC.  I
don't have the link around, though.  :(  I will try to find it.

Also, I would try going to the official Windows Update site and choosing the
"check for updates" (or something close to that) option.  They may still
have some updates online there.  It is worth a try anyway.

I think the site address is http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com , but I
might be wrong.  I am sure you can get to it from their main site.

Some irony for you...while there is no AOL client for linux (that I know
of), the AOL server is available in a linux version.  I presume that is
what they are running on (or some flavor of *NIX or BSD).
