diba dapat around 576 ang MTU for dialup lines. if it's higher, it can
cause packet fragmentation (greater overhead, more bytes to transfer). if
it's lower naman, then payload size is not maximized for each packet (so
may overhead din). the only reason to lower MTU is to reduce error rate
on the dialup lines. 1500 bytes naman is the standard MTU for ethernet.
it shouldnt be used over dialup.
baud rate of 57600 on a serial port means that you are giving an
extra 24000 bits of bandwidth between your serial port and your 33.6kbps
modem in case a compressed ppp packet comes in and expands between 33600 and
57600 bits. so it would be advisable to set it to 115200 baud rate so that
you can accomodate ppp packets that would decompress from 33600 upto
115200 bits.
