I have set up a VPN over an ADSL link and I am getting traffic snarl-ups
as a result.

Previously this link was running without VPN and over PSTN.

My guess is that the server is sending out packets which are now too big.

1.  Am I correct in assuming that both freeswan and ADSL add over head to
the packets?  I seems to recall the figure of an MTU of 1412 coming in
some where.

2.  Am I correct in assuming that the best place to fix this is in the
ifconfig setting for that particular interface on the server?  Currently
it has MTU 1500.  What would be a suitable setting here.  I also guess,
since this is Redhat, that I am going to have to look in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network, is this assumption correct?

TIA.
