It (lsppp) uses less memory. My own attempts of reducing memory used by
rewriting parts of epppd were small in comparision. My result was ca 10KB
smaller, but LSPPP is 30+ smaller IIRC. But then it's not epppd rewriteen
it's completly writeen from scratch (a truth with modifications, somethings
came more or less directly from epppd).
