You don't sound suprised.
I don't know how their address translation works, but its there and seems
to work pretty well.  Anybody want to sign on and tell us what IP your AOL
adapter is assigned?

Its not a proxy, cuz you can ping any valid machine, and you can direct
connect on any port you want.  I don't know much about NAT and Masq,
anybody else?
