I am currently connected to the net with a SLIP connection.  When I do
a netstat -i it shows this:

Name  Mtu   Network     Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
sl0   296   <Link>                            1097     0     1095     0     0
sl0   296   BENDNET.rai 199.2.205.31          1097     0     1095     0     0

My service provider tells me that I need to boost the Mtu rate to 1006.
But how is this accomplished.  I have read the man pages for slattach, 
ifconfig, and all that fun stuff.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.
