I'm not at home at the moment.  But I'm sure that I've set it to 1000,
experimentally.

Again, I can't seem to set my ne PCIMCIA laptop adaptor at all.  It may be
a driver issue, a card issue, or a matter of each (and for all I know, the
lower bound may vary).

I don't really know.  I haven't benchmarked it.  I varied MTU's as a
workaround for an ipf/ipnat bug.  My home network doesn't pump that much
data around most of the time, so I don't care a whole lot about the
performance.  (My computers/cards are too fast for me to waste my time
eeking out more network performance just for li'l ol' me.  (^&)
