AOL was founded in 1983 and dial-up would have been the only way to access it. These dates are suspect.

Per your own link: they started as game delivery service called Control Video Corp and later became an AppleLink service called Quantum Link. They became AOL in 89 when they separated from Apple and offered internet modem pools starting in 91.
