Not to rule out MSS problems since I have no idea how to interpret
the shorewall output above, but have you already ruled out other
potential problems that could lead to the same symptoms?  For
example:

  Are there any signs of problems in /var/log/ppp.log or
  /var/log/syslog ?

  Is your internal NIC using the same speed and duplex setting 
  as whatever it is hooked to?

  Are you sure your serial ports and NIC are not trying to share
  the same interrupt?

  Are errors evident in the output of "ip -s link" after the
  problems occur?

  Does the HiS behave like a modem?  If so, do you need to pass
  it any special init strings?

Your original posting was not very clear about what lead you to
believe it was an MSS problem and not something else, so please
pardon me if I am asking about things you already systematically
ruled out.
