PPP Server is not supported (yet?). Adding PPP Server support require 
porting all the code enclosed into PPP_SERVER #define to lwIP (reducing 
memory footprint, moving structures to PCB, removing global variables 
that are only working for one session to PCB in order to fulfil the 
support of multiple PPP instance), and then adding passive interface 
support to PPPoS, PPPoE, and PPPoL2TP (waiting for incoming session on, 
respectively, serial, Ethernet, UDP).

By the way, why do you need PPP Server support ?  This seem rather an 
uncommon thing for an embedded devices to act as a PPP server, maybe for 
remote dialup management (but why over IP?) ?
