OOps! Forgot how Kmail mungs things to aklug.
Trying evolution.Hope this is readable.

Jim,

Looks like 'ifconfig mtu N' sets mtu (maximum transmission unit)
see info ifconfig

Found a suggestion of
        dialup mtu = 576
        PPP0E 1492
             Ethernet, dsl, cable mtu= 1500

But:
On my IPCOP box using dialup shows PPP0 has mtu=1500 and it works fine.

Don't know if it even relates to your situatiion but that looks like the
way to change mtu.
