Put one there. I believe the .SAM in this case is "sample". It should have the
localhost 127.0.0.1 line in it. Copy it over to the same dir without the
extension. You can add as many lines to it as you wish, i have 1,660
advertiser domains pointed to 127.0.0.1 , heh. You can add abbreviations to
that file, for domains with long names that you might type a lot. (or just use
the favorites list.)

Ok, but the AOL software still does two things, it modifies winsock, and
establishes a VPN to AOL. I don't know what it does to winsock, or what is
done to IE to become an aol browser.
