  17. MSS=MTU-40 is the conventional wisdom, however it is somewhat dependant upon 
  18. the type of connection.  A dialup PPP vs a direct connect over an office LAN, 
  19. for example.  Trumpet recommends the above settings as you have them for 
  20. SLIP/PPP, but recommends the standard -40 for direct connects.

  22. Your mileage may vary.  Use whatever works.
