OK, the verdict seems to be that Charles' suggestion worked (for pings -- we are only testing the connection with pings) --- so I doubt that ping tests the CLAMPMSS parm. A large file transfer would probably need it so I put CLAMPMSS=yes in shorwall.conf.
We are now able to ping across campus. Today ping, tomorrow MP3s!
