Doesn't need to be a sensible one. :) If you want to really fine-tune a
nullmodem connection, see how big a ping packets you can send and then
choose an MTU/MRU somewhat smaller than that. If it's for calling your
provider, the provider will most likely have a sensible MTU/MRU and, if
you don't set it yourself, your MTU/MRU will be configured the same
during the ppp negotiations.

Long ago :) The pppd that came with KEMD didn't support speeds over 38k4.
Not on some machines, but on all. :)
