A lot of work has been done - including support for EPP. But ...

Apparently not well enough, or you might have found the Zip page at
http://www.torque.net/zip.html
There, you'd certainly have seen the link to Dave Campbell's
"curtin" driver - which addresses many of the concerns you express.
Of course, you could also have written to the author of the driver,
who might just have taken a few minutes to explain some of the issues to
you.
