Perhaps something in your lt modules is fouling
something up?  Or perhaps the lt modules need
to be inserted before ppp?

Same kernel.  Same modules.  It appears to
me that the issue is at your end.

I just checked the addresses and DNS is no longer
available there.  That's a pity.  I wish someone 
had mentioned this before I released the latest 
version.

It's a losing game.  There's no guarantee that any
public DNS service will be there tomorrow.

When you run pppsetup in BL3, you get the following
messages on the /etc/resolv.conf page:
------------------------------------------------------
replace these numbers with the DNS numbers of your ISP
------------------------------------------------------
What could be clearer that that?

There was no change to kernel, modules, pppsetup, 
eznet, pppd.  There were some minor changes to /dev
but I can't see how that could be related to this
issue.
