Don't bother, just look at that CCL file "TCPack". It shows that the
destination port is 5190, and the connection is made to host
"americaonline.aol.com". I use plug-gw to proxy AOL traffic, and just
edit the CCL file, putting the name of my proxy host in place of
americaonline.aol.com.
Don't forget to consider the risks of reusable passwords sent
in the clear - the AOL TCP client software does not encrypt the
username or password when it sends it across the Internet. It is
trivial to sniff and steal AOL accounts.
