So microcom is probably OK.

If we assume microcom working OK, it takes the focus off
the hardware and init strings.  As I said in a previous
message, a possible cause of your problem is pppd (which
comes from Slackware 3.5).  I suggest you get pppd-2.3 
from Slackware 4.0 (n5), rename it pppd and substitute 
it for the pppd in BL3.

Does that fix your downloading problem?
