someone sent an article on one of IOL's forums, regarding disconnection problems with orkit's ADSL modems. he claims the problem is most likely a bug in the fragment handling "code" in orcit's modems, and is solved by reducing the MTU to 1432. here is the link to the article: http://207.232.20.4

Thanks! Works fine for me, once I convinced those Windows boxes to pay attention to their MTU settings (hint -- if you create the W2K registry entry as String instead of DWORD then W2K will silently ignore you, and I know no easy way to get the currently used settings...). Sheesh. Automatic MTU
