I am reluctant to do that, >but I will if I have to. It depends on how you want to solve this problem. The easiest solution is to up your mtu to 1006. "ifconfig sl0 mtu 1006" would do this for you. If you want to lower your service provider's mtu, good luck. I doubt very much that they would allow you to adjust their slip server.
