I can't understand so well what you are saying... I'm not yet so smart like
you :)
Anyway, I tried this(give me some hints, if I'm wrong) :
darkstar\$ /sbin/ifconfig | egrep 'MTU'
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
So, it looks like 1500. Is it so small? Are you right, then?

I hope that's not my case(I know, I always have the passive type then...) :(
