The Safecom modem router which I use can be used with AOL, (you must 
change the MTU down to 1400 as you must also do for Talktalk from it's 
default of 1500) you do not have to buy their very expensive (4x the 
price) router. Of course their client software only runs on Windows but 
you can in any case access their web based email perfectly well using 
Firefox on Linux.

But again they are not allowed, by their management, to provide support 
for Linux.
