    	As noted, AOL 3.0 installs its own TCP/IP widget called AOL Link.
    To get FreePPP back, open the TCP/IP Control Panel and (re)select
    FreePPP.
    
    	*BUT* you have to reboot. 
    
    	Does anyone know why, or if there is a workaround for having to
    reboot?
    
    thanks,
    Ben

    The "why" is that AOL apparently isn't smart enough, at the system
    level, to know whether you're using MacTCP or TCP/IP.  With MacTCP, a
    reboot *is* required, so AOL just blindly makes you reboot.

    With TCP/IP under Open Transport, you do NOT have to reboot.
    
    Merely open the TCP/IP control panel, select Configurations from the
    File menu, select your default configuration from the list, and click
    on Make Active.  You're done.
    
    Of course, this assumes you've saved the various network configurations
    you normally use.
    
    But, I wholeheartedly agree that the AOL implementation leaves much to
    be desired.  There's no reason that switching back and forth could not
    be made transparent with a single click!
