Awesome, thanks - its (sadly) necessary to have MSS clamping support in
any real-world pppoe implementation IMHO. I just realized I can't access
some of my favourite web sites anymore because of the mss problem. Kind
of ironic actually, today I couldn't get RFC 1191 (PMTU discovery) from
www.faqs.org because of this problem :)
Thanks,
Rick
