About Peng for Aol

Peng is a free program for Linux which sets up a bridge IP for the Aol's 
subscribers. In practice it allows to connect to internet by way of AOL. 
This program is a reverse ingeenering of the AOL's program by analyzing 
bytes sent to the modem. No code's line of the official program was 
dismantle. The final goal is to offer an access with a high level of 
stability and security at the Aol's users under linux.
