>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	The machine is connected to the internet through a dialup ppp connection.
>Description:

	
        PPP is started.
        ping with packet size 1500 is OK.
        ping with packet size 1350 is OK.
        ping with packet size 1472 or 1400 is NOT OK.
        After a unsuccesful ping the connection is dead.
        Closing and opening ppp gets connection back.

        The symptoms are not there when the connetion to the Internet is
        via Ethernet.

>How-To-Repeat:

 /usr/sbin/ppp -background arcpop
Working in background mode
Using interface: tun0
PPP enabled.
