The MTU and MRU (MaxMSS?) can be adusted in the ppp options file or
from within kppp if you prefer. On some serial connections reducing
these can improve thruput -- 576 works well for many people. There is
rarely any point in increasing them above the default of 1500 and it
may hurt your performance because of fragmentton
The TTL on a packet should not have any effect on the reliability of
your connection. I have no idea why the feller reccomends that.
