    Penggy has been allowing linux users to dial connect to AOL for quite some time. Who wants to put a bet on where most of the code came from. All in all- this is old news.

    The same thing that was debated years ago when penggy was announced on /. will most likely be argued here: Why would linux users want to connect to AOL?

    Although, marketing this software through linspire makes a lot more sense considering their more simplistic market.
