I don't believe the stories about DOSPPPD's memory problems other than it's size. For the best part of a year I automatically logged the memory map before and after online sessions and even with several hours activity never has a sniff of a leak. LSPPP was equally clean. Both load high without problems under the DRDOS Taskmgr. I do however suffer far more packet losses with LSPPP than DOSPPPD while a friend on a different phone exchange finds that LSPPP is better than DOSPPPD. So far as I can see they each handle errors/line timing differently and which is better for you will depend on the sort of errors you encounter. However, overall I rate them about the same for speed and reliability with the proviso that LSPPP is far smaller and it's DNS config'ing may be worth having, while DOSPPPD's diagnostics are far superior. While DOSPPPD appears to be dead, LSPPP, at least in theory, is still alive. What it boils down to is, use whatever works for you.
