In the past some people here noticed issues that pps would stop and/or
that ldattach would not work well enough.
ppsldisc is depreciated and ldattach is the preferred tool.
I'd gladly use it if it would work 100%. (there was a bug that I can not
put my finger on, ldattach just opens the serial port with the right
line discipline and yet it differs from ppsldisc in behaviour)
