Man do I ask a lot of ppp questions or what?  This is more of a question
that a problem, though.  I'm curious what the mtu/mru should be for ppp.
It defaults to 1524, but ethernet is only 1500.  The reason I'm asking
is that I am forwarding packets from the ethernet to the ppp link, and I
wondered if I'd gain better performance setting the mtu/mru on ppp to
1500.  Any ideas?
