I have (attempted to) fix ppp so that it respects
the remote's wishes as far as MTU is concerned.
There is a boddle on plan9.bell-labs.com in
/cm/cs/who/rsc/ppp.rc and stip.rc. Use at your
own risk.
ppp.rc needs to be applied in /sys/src/cmd/ppp
and also contains the changes that were in ppp.bod
from forsyth.
stip.rc needs to be applied in /sys/src/9/port
and changes the setip message. An MTU parameter
is added to the end, and if there is a '-' for
any parameter, it is treated as if it wasn't there.
Thus,
setip 135.104.3.9 255.255.255.0
is the same as
setip 135.104.3.9 255.255.255.0 - -
This is used by ppp, which does:
setip 135.104.3.9 255.255.255.0 - mtu
and lets ipmuxctl figure out what the third
parameter should be.
