Erm, if you got a new ISP, Linux _and_ Windows would be able to connect to the internet on the same account...
And yes, Peng should work. But the only way to find out is actually try. Download this on your windows partion and then mount it (because you don't have internte connection in Linux right now).
Apache is webserver software, more at www.apache.org.

You pay AOL every month right now. Stop paying them and pay a good local ISP instead. You will probably find it much cheaper.
I have been on the internet for 7 years, BBS's for 5 years before that and I have never used AOL under windows or linux. You can use Internet Explorer or better yet Netscape, Mozilla or Opera as your winodws browser instead of AOL's default browser.
You can get access for as little as about $10 a month. Search google. You can find nation/world wide ISP's such as netzero which offer local access numbers. Or you can look in your local phone book and call all the ISP's (Internet Service Providers). Do some price checking and show your parents how you can save them money by using something other than AOL.
Where I live I can only connect at 28,800 due to ancient phone lines. I have a friend who lives in an area with up to date phone lines and he uses AOL. You can see that his speed is actually slower than mine and he connects at around 46,000. That is mostly because of the mass usage of AOL. People who don't know any better use it (at least until they wise up).

I actually tried out NetZero when they first started up (and were free) but at that time they required a Windows client so you could be pushed all the advertisements. If you pay them the 10 bucks a month do they require the Windows client or will they allow a standard Linux compatible PPP connection?

I know someone who uses netzero and he uses both linux and windows. (He is my wife cousin and I turned him on to linux.) He may have a specific setup I don't know but the last I heard he was still using netzero. That was about 6 months ago though so you may want to check and make sure before you decide on them.

I just went to their site and checked. They don't support linux. Here is the LINK.
Ok I guess I was wrong must have been some other one then.
