By default debian doesn't install telnetd, which is required to accept
incomming telnets. It appears your ppp connection is working fine.
To transfer files you probably need the ftpd package or ssh package on both
ends to use scp (though if this is a physically secure connection ftpd would
probably work fine for you).
