you would need a way of connecting the AOL adsl modem to the router, which means that you would need to use a linux router such as smoothwall. this also assumes that aol use a common adsl modem, such as the alcatel speedtouch, but probably is not the case.
aol almost certainly use their own proprietry solution designed to make it as hard as possible to share the broadband.
notice that the selling points of thier more expensive broadband packages is network capability, which suggests that it will be very difficult to network the more basic packages.
