No, they are completely separate.  America Online (used to be personal
AppleLink, or something like that) is a system for general public,
while AppleLink is for special users like developers, etc.  BTW,
America Online is not run by Apple.

You can find an article with all the gateways from one of the
news.newusers.* newsgroups.
