There's no problem in using Mindspring, so don't worry about flames for
that...
To solve the "only dial as root" problem, login as root and start
'netcfg'. Click on the ppp0 line then click 'Edit'. Click 'Customize'
then click the 'Allow all users to activate'. Click 'Save' to save the
update, then close all the windows.
Login as a normal user and you should be able to dial as that user.
