I'm running at mtu of 256, it was running at 256 on a
linux machine with the same modem, same terminal server
at other end, and same configuration, just that pppd is
on netbsd now, and the performance is horrible, I get
around 300bytes/sec in transfers like ftp/http whereas they
went upto 5.7k/2.6k repsectivley with ppp on linux.
