Clients can ask for, and will get, whatever MTU they want as long as it
is valid under the RFC - I believe we max at 1500 (the RFC allows for
larger packets).
Joe seems to want to be able ot specify the size of the packets transmitted
to the user. Which isn't what PPP is desinged to do - each end tells the
other end the max size it can *receive*. So when you dial into a PM the
PM tells the client it's MTU - and the client tells us the max size to
send to it.
If 1500 is too large, the *client* must specify a smaller size.
1500 has always worked fine for me, as long as the stack wasn't buggy
(like Trumpet 2.0b).

Exactly.
