RTFM, thanks - never heard of them, but I'll give it a go tonight.
As long as the ISP uses the standard Windows dial-up interfaces, it should be ok - I can install everything on my desktop PC, then copy the dial-up settings onto my laptop. It's only AOL that's the problem, since that doesn't use the Windows interfaces and won't work without installing AOL's software (which needs local admin rights).
