I have attached the changelog.
I found 'fix for double-dial problem'

Ifrequently have to dial twice before it even attempts to connect,
then sometimes it does not succeed, and I dial a third time.


Some of the updates, at least in later versions, were for newer kernels.
2.3.11 obviously works with 2.2.16 (BL2 and BL3 kernel).
I might as an experiment try booting Bl3 wtih BL2 kernel and see if pppd 
works better, but it is intermittent to start with.
