On the MPC555 (a PowerPC variant), the pppd example program uses 494k of
Flash ROM and perhaps 64k of RAM.  This example program includes the RTEMS  
kernel, the TCP/IP stack, pppd, and nothing else -- no high-level protocols 
or application code.

To determine how this might apply to the ARM, try building the pppd example       
program with both an ARM BSP and a PowerPC BSP, then compare the linker map 
files.
