With IPCHAINS, the -p option specifies the protocol, i.e. TCP, UDP, ICMP
etc.  You CAN specify them as numbers... ICMP = 1, TCP =6, UDP = 17.  I 
have no idea what protocols 21 23 and 80 are, if they correspond to
protocols at all. 

You want to specify the destination PORT, so instead do

ipchains -A input -i ppp0 -d 0/0 21 -j DENY

etc
