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 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.
