Are you sure the other end is trying to send you FTP?  Few BBS programs 
can do it, although they ARE able to send, say Zmodem over the telnet 
link, IF your telnet client can handle it.

PPP and SLIP are link layer protocols for connecting to an internet 
service provider.  Your telnet, FTP, HTTP, etc. services then run over that 
link layer.

What BBS are you trying to access?
