Are you dialing with eznet?  The eznet in BL1 doesn't work 
with pppd 2.3

The eznet in BL1 works with pppd 2.2.  The eznet in BL2 works
with ppp 2.3 (but it doesn't work with libc5).  Isn't this
fun?

When I execute eznet (without parameters) I see an option called 
pppversion.  It may be possible to use this to get the eznet in 
BL1 to work with pppd 2.3.  But I don't know the syntax for
that one.
