If you built the kernel you're running, then the settings you used are
saved in /usr/src/linux/.config and are used as the defaults next time you
do make [config,menuconfig,etc.] in the source directory preperatory to
building a new kernel. If you're using an as-installed kernel I guess
you'll have to hope the distributor installs the sources with these
settings in place (when there's no .config the build reverts to a set of
defaults from some other file).
If you're running a "stock" kernel then IME you almost certainly do NOT
have "always reassemble packets" enabled, and that will cause problems
with masquerading. Setting the MTU/MRU on the dial-up link to the largest
possible value may hide this problem, at least mostly, but the other end
might not let the MTU be set to an arbitrary value.
Luck!
