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...).
<rant> Sheesh. Automatic MTU discovery is in yonder standards, and
besides, incorrect MTU should cause slowdown, not connection loss.
Client-side configuration for masquerading?! Pfuy! TCP/IP over GRE+PPTP
over IP over Ethernet? I wouldn't trust these guys to properly implement
the Post-it Notes Transfer Protocol! </rant>
