lp0 has nothing to do with ppp0.

Uncomment the relevant line in your kernel config file, as I've already 
told you on my previous private mail. If you don't know how to do that, 
read the section in the handbook on rebuilding the kernel. *It will not 
work until you do that*!

BTW, why do you use kernel-mode ftp? User-mode ppp is configured into the 
kernel by default, so if you don't want to rebuild it, you can still use 
it. Again, look at the handbook and tutorials for details.

Bottom line: RTFM

You probably have /etc/remote or some other tip file set up incorrectly. 
If all goes well you don't have to use tip, but it might be useful for 
debugging.
