joe2812,
I am sorry, but I do not use AOL (hate it actually), I do not know if they have Newsgroups for you to access. If they do, then we just need to setup the Newsgroup Server.
If not, then I do not know what to say, the idea you were on AOL never crossed my mind. (There is the option to sign up for Usenet, but that is a quarterly subscription, but it is very fast.)
Take Care,
Richard
