pppsetup is a script which in addition to editing the two files
also inserts slhc and ppp driver modules so you can dial.
If you also want to use the laptop offline and are low on RAM,
instead of inserting the modules every time you boot (in rc)
you can edit ppp-on to read
insmod slhc
insmod ppp
eznet up

Then you don't tie up the extra memory when you work offline.
If you are REALLY short on memory, you can remove the modules after
going offline by editing ppp-off to add
rmmod ppp
rmmod slhc 
I have not actually tried this.  You could write your
own script with just these two lines instead.  
As homework.
