This is a user/password problem. Don't worry about the
idle, baud, tty and phone entries. They are OK. You either
have some sort of typographical error in your user/password
or your ISP has changed it's authentication server or that
server is malfunctioning or you have a permission problem
somewhere (eznet gets tripped up on permissions very easily).

1st question: are you able to log on to that account using
' a different OS/browser?

2nd question: are you running BL2 as root?

3rd question: are you running BL2 on the same hardware where
' it succeeded previously

It is possible that this process is introducing a permission
problem or some other error. I suggest you do a clean boot
and enter the pppsetup data by hand, and see if that connects.

Cheers,
Steven
