You'd probably be better off helping him get a legitimate ISP.  I
had a friend who tried various ways of connecting to me while he
was using AOL.  His pings were way too high (though he only lives
200 miles away).  I gathered that there must be tons of hops
before he even communicated with the server he was connected to
for his internet service.  He switched to a legit ISP and we've
hooked up often every since.

Of course you can use Gamespy to get a IP number and just e-mail
or ICQ it to him and tell him to type in "connect
###.###.###.###" filling in the #'s with the ip number.  Of
course, his ping should be abhorrent.

Good luck.
