Can't help you with your ALOHA questions much, but Hardy's had a lot of
trouble keeping it working, since AOL keeps changing things and they
don't seem to give him their protocols or changes. I think ALOHA is
(pardon me, Hardy, if you're still listening) something of a hack (the
good kind, not the malicious or irresponsible kind.)
To answer your question about the possibility of accesing your AOL mail
via the Internet using Eudora:
NOPE. Not possible. Give up.
AOL doesn't use Internet standard POP3 and SMTP (or IMAP) compatible mail
servers (at the moment anyway, with no change in sight), so you're
(probably intentionally) locked in to using the AOL software to access
their mail, although you MAY possibly be able to access their mail via a
web browser (not sure, and even less sure it'd work from a Newton web
browser, although if one worked it's likely to be Newt's Cape or maybe
LunaSuite.)
I'd suggest just dropping AOL completely. It's too restrictive.
