The script is not going to work, even if mindspring really is using
login/password to authenticate rather than the PAP authentication that
has become standard at a large majority of ISPs. Instead it causes the
Mindspring connection program to wait at a prompt or menu for 5 minutes
before hanging up (most ISPs aren't that patient).
A login/password chat script should read, starting with the CONNECT line:
CONNECT \d\c
login: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
after which there should be a password prompt, perhaps followed by
a prompt to start or select ppp or another program. The minicom
program is a good way to find out what the prompt or menu might need.
No login/password chatting may be necessary however.
You have the pppd "name [EMAIL PROTECTED]" option suggesting that
you do expect PAP or CHAP and have a secrets file with your username
and password. There's a good chance that you can configure for PAP
authentication and omit the login/password chat expect/sends, keeping
only CONNECT \d\c as the last line in the chat script.
The line in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (or /etc/chap/secrets) file is
usually of the form
username * secret
in which username is your ISP username and secret is the ISP password.
