I know somebody who cannot get internet access.. AOL is their (I
presume broadband) ISP

I have heard stories of AOL users having special software..

So I suspect that it may not be as simple as connect(with NAT router
or via Windows with USB modem) and done, like with any other broadband
ISP.

Is it as simple as that? Or do they -force- the user to use their
software to connect?


No , you can use an ADSL router to connect to AOL (using PPoE) , then the PC doesn't need any software at all.
That's how I've got the two PCs set up at my Dad's

Googling will tell you all you need to know
