As far as I'm aware this MTU issue only affected the PPPoE client in Mac OS
X 10.1.0 (and was fixed in 10.1.2) and not the PPPoE client in the airport
base station.

In 10.1.0 I got to memorise this fix!

- Connect to ISP via ADSL PPPoE
- Open Terminal App
- Type... sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1492
- Type password at prompt
- Hit enter
- Done
