I have a problem with my RH7.1 box that acts as a PPP dial up gateway.

   The setup is as follows. The Linux box is set up to do PPP on 
demand through a modem for several computers on my home network. It 
runs a firewall, DNS, and file services for the network.

   A few months ago, following a change at my ISP, http access to some 
sites stopped working. After a few days and some long web searches, I 
found that the MTU size on the PPP link was smaller than that on the 
ethernet (570 and 1500 respectively). Part of the fix was upgrading 
to RH7.1, as well as specifying an MTU size in the PPP options.

   This worked until last week, when the ISP stopped honouring my 
request for an MTU of 1534 and dropped it to 1460. Now I have several 
http sites that I cannot access because fragments of packets get lost.

   Suggestions? Upgrading to RH7.2 will be difficult as redhat is one 
of the sites I can't get to.
