This is not my problem.
My problem turns out to be with firewalls that block ICMP, thus breaking
path-MTU discovery. It isn't broken on my ISP or my ISP's connections.
[world]-----PPP@MTU296-----[my masq box]-----eth0-----[my other boxes]
My proposal is, since my masq box *knows* it is connected over an MTU 296
link, could it (the masquerading/forwarding code), *reduce the initial mss
negotiation*, which doesn't depend on ICMP?
