We use LiS in our embedded system (32M RAM, 8M flash) along with much
more extensive serial protocol stacks implemented in streams modules,
a web server for configuration/stats, switching applications,
applications for communicating with client machines, etc.  No problems.

The basic streams environment will be in a module called streams.o.
That's all you need to load (besides your own).  The user interface
will end up in libLiS which you link with your apps.
