No mistake.  I pasted it and got the same result.

I too have had no problem downloading with links (or wget) in BL3.

Once the dialer (eznet) makes the connection, it hands everything
over to pppd.  If there is a problem, it's in pppd itself.  Or, 
perhaps, the modem is slightly misconfigured (eznet isn't perfect).  
There are a dozen different settings that can trip up a modem.
Some stop the modem dead, some cause only occasional glitches.
Sounds like Sindi is suffering from occasional glitches (always
the hardest to diagnose).
