AOL and Mr. Cool

Although you can use Mr. Cool with AOL, the set up and usage is more complex and
problematic. Support is limited.

1. You must be using AOL via TCP/IP - not direct dial up. To determine if you are using TCP/IP with AOL, click the Setup button, then Edit Location and check the Network shows as TCP/IP not AOLNET.

2. The AOL software does not read UUencoded messages sent back by some servers. You
will have to get and use an external decoder.

3. You will need access to an SMTP mail server. This may well be provided by the service you use for the TCP/IP connection.
