[ale] Mindspring question/problem

[bm at cc.gatech.edu (bm at cc.gatech.edu)]

Hey mindspring guys (hi todd),

I have to move over to mindspring.  I set up the firewall to establish a
ppp connection, but have been getting the following error:

Dec  2 18:33:56 junior pppd[3212]: Serial connection established.
Dec  2 18:33:57 junior pppd[3212]: Using interface ppp0
Dec  2 18:33:57 junior pppd[3212]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Dec  2 18:34:30 junior pppd[3212]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Dec  2 18:34:30 junior pppd[3212]: Connection terminated.
Dec  2 18:34:30 junior pppd[3212]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Dec  2 18:34:30 junior pppd[3212]: Exit.

anybody ever see anything like this before?  It seems to be failing
during dynamic IP assignment.  Below is my /etc/ppp/options file. 
What's going wrong?

          #----/etc/ppp/options----
          #
          defaultroute /dev/modem 57600
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          mtu 1500
          connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ' ' 
          ATS11=40 OK ATDTphoneno ogin msXXXXX word PASSWORD"
          #
          #------------------------thanks,
