Trial and error: The magic number for the payload length is 1400.
Anything exceeding that terminates the connection. (Thus, the interface
MTU needs to be set to 1395.)

One more question: Why does pppd set the interface MTU to 1412 in the
first place, when it is called with "mtu 1200 mru 1500" in its command
line?
