If its AOL broadband in the UK you don't have to use their software at all.

Just need either a router or a PPoE driver for the USB modem

Just create a new dialup connection set to dial 0,38 (might be diff if your on LLU)

user name would be screenname@aol.com (i think, might be.co.uk)
password would be your password

I did this on my laptop once using a USB adsl modem to connect it to my mates AOL broadband so i know it does work.
