You are absolutely right. Sometime in November, AOL will change their setup
completely, and they won't issue a new version of the Apple II software, and
so you won't be able to access the service from an Apple II anymore.

Geez, the software never supported anything above 2400 baud? I use 14.4Kbps
for most downloads. And I've tried 2400 - it's s l o w.
