Thought I did send this in just for the record :
2 machines hooked back-to-back with cross-over cable
could send and receive ETHERMTU=1536 byte packets.

Didn't have the time to try variations, but looks like
one could go  upto 2^14 (16K) packets on the SMC 10/100
cards (which I was using). Limit being on the DEC 21140s
packet-length field.

Thanks to everybody who responded.
