No, that would cost me money :). It is free to download at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

That page takes you to the closest mirror. You can do an ftp install
but you are never going to make it from AOL. You will be timing out
every 10 minutes or what ever their timeout is now. A download of the
iso-image (an image you can burn onto a cdrom) takes about 40 hours at
56kb. Order the CDROM from the prev(ious) page or go to your local
Barnes & Noble or Boarders and buy "The Complete FreeBSD", which comes
with the 4-cd's. It is version 3.4 but that is a good place to start.
