You shouldn't need to.

I don't have an entry 'VH57600' in my /etc/gettytab, but I guess you 
might.  It's not clear whether you have gone the extra steps required here 
(though you may well have).  Have you changed either the default: (or 
VH57600: in your case) entry in /etc/gettytab to point at something that 
will fire up /usr/sbin/ppp?  It _sounds_ like you haven't.  If not, one way 
of doing it is adding:

:pp=/usr/local/bin/ppplogin:

to default: (or the entry of your choice) in /etc/gettytab, then 
creating /usr/local/bin/ppplogin to contain:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ppp -direct ttyd0

(ttyd0 only because that's what you've labelled the section in ppp.conf).

> I am lost here. Can't figure it out. thanks

If this doesn't nudge you along far enough, I'm happy to be more explicit.  
It's just not entirely clear what you've already done.
