I subscribe to AOL and connect through a modem (56K). Can I use Ethereal. I have Ethereal installed. However, it does not list any interfaces. I have Tracert program that works. Also others that came with Windows XP OS. Why doesn't Ethereal recognize the same interfaces?

WinPcap 3.1 beta *might* help, but it might require that Microsoft's Network Monitor driver be installed in order to capture on PPP devices. According to this page:

there are support tools for Windows XP Professional that include the command-line Netcap tool, which includes the Network Monitor driver - but that doesn't say anything about Windows XP Home, so if you're using Windows XP Home, you might be out of luck.
