[ale] PPP Perfromance

[Christopher Fowler]

Now you guys have me thinking :)

I have a vtun connection that use ppp.  This connection allows me to connect
to a rmote location and ping all the machines there.  It basically 
joins two networks.  To get top perfomance from it should I 
modify mtu settings on any machine on my and the remote network?

Thanks,
Chris
