Ok, Look at the end of this message for some support for my argument.

Ok, I think your right about that, I guess they are just trying
to cut down on connections. However, a few years back, when I was
using AOL for dialup access, I did connect to their IRC servers,
and I did not notice that the same chat rooms were available.

I'll do it right after I post this.
Ok, for some proof the other way, here are some excerpts of a
log of the conversation between the AOL servers and my AOL
client, Warning, it contains some null characters, I dunno how
email is going to handle it.
The "Z**" is part of AOL's protocol framing, I haven't worked
out the details about the framing format, but each field
appears to be null terminated.
Command to join chat room "vb4":
The aol://... URL is a keyword format aol uses internaly
to access any AOL resource.

Response to join request
This is a full frame, but not the entire response,
the entire responce includes the screen names of
everyone in the chat room. Apparently this is close
to the maximum frame size for AOL.

field.

Server command to add line to chat display
This is a frame from the server directing the chat
client to add the text to the chat display.
It appears that HTML tags are stripped off for AOL chat
clients less the version 4.0.
