Hank,
It depends on the other end of the link. If you are connecting to an
ISP, what do they recommend for it? I know when I was using dial up, my ISP
wanted the MTU set to 576. If you set it too large, the packets will get
fragmented down the line anyway. If you set it too small, you get the extra
bytes of the added packet headers...
