Forward Communications - AOL TCP/IP setup information
Using AOL (America On-Line) with Forward Communications is easy. The AOL software that you may already have is able to connect you to AOL using our dial-up numbers and network. This is an advantage to many AOL users in the Beaver, Butler, Lawerence and Washington county areas since AOL does not have local numbers for these areas. Also, the price for AOL drops to around $10.00 a month for persons who subscribe to AOL using the bring-your-own-ISP plan. We here at Forward Communications have developed this page as a courtesy to our many subscribers who are using AOL on our network. If you require more assistance than this page you will have to call AOL Techinical Support at 1-888-265-8006 (for DOS/Windows) or 1-888-265-8007 (for Macintosh Systems).
