With a line of pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1412" and mtu 1492 ifconfig ppp0 still shows an MTU of 1492. Though I'm guessing that's what it should be showing, based on Anoop's reply, below. Eth0 (the interface that pppoe runs on) of course has an MTU of 1500. If I'm misunderstanding though, feel free to tell me. :-) Thanks, Jacob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEJgS4kpJ43hY3cTURAqeYAKCgFzsKWcwd+ByCxvwNRphxqJUiPQCgu7RN quZC/PJI+6SV2OXrQEvCd6M= =2ZBc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
