This is the exact step I took: I have a "pptp" command running from /etc/init.d/pptpadsl under Devil- Linux (this file was contributed recently to the CVS by me). Among other flags, this command has the following: mtu "$PPTPADSL_MTU" mru "$PPTPADSL_MTU" PPTPADSL_MTU is defined in another file, where the original value that I assigned into it was 1452, following the HOWTO. Changing that value to 1500 resolved everything (although I can't witness that POP3 works too, since I don't cross any PPP to reach the POP3 server). > can you sho the ifconfig of both configurations?
