I played with net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc, net.inet.ip.mtudisc, 
net.inet.tcp_mss_ifmtu on the machine connected to the adsl modem.

I didn't especify the problem in my previous mail: 

- Sometimes I loose the connection.

- When I didn't loose the connection, while the machine is
uploading info, the PING to a site with average 85 ms of delay goes to
1000 ms of delay.
