AOL and VPN's

[Pete Davis]

I have seen AOL5 assign two IP addreses on different adapters to users
(unrelated to VPNs). When it does this, it does not behave properly. This is
very broken behavior. Under no circumstances should a dial-up with AOL have
two different adapters with different IP addreses. When AOL5 does not do this,
I have seen it behave properly.
