In PPP the MTU from Apple Remote Access' point of view is negotiated
between it and the other PPP endpoint. Like all good PPP clients ARA
assumes 1500 unless otherwise told its different. Therefore from ARA's
point of view there is no setting; that's really up to the server.
Of course as many of us are aware, there are several PPP servers that
dont negotiate properly (especially PPPoE). Therefore one way to "fix"
this problem is to be in the stream (for PPP anyhow) and modify the LCP
negotiations.
