I used to use my in-laws account with knoppix a while back. Problem is,
I can't remember if they were still using AOL or had switched to
Qwest/MSN by then.

Use a knoppix CD and tinker with it. I remember the login required a
special prefix. Something like:
  MSN/userlogin or AOL/userlogin
  pswd

I'd try it w/o the prefix first.
