I didn't try them though and only relied on my memory.

In this case the MTU is usually limited to = 1492 bytes (1500 byte ethernet frame minus PPP framing overhead). If all = ICMP is blocked at some part of the link then packet fragmentation = doesn't work properly and you end up with symptoms like interactive SSH = logins work but bulk SCP or FTPs don't. >=20 > I've added this to http://wiki.freebsd.org/NewFAQs >=20 >> I hope that helps! >=20 > It was very useful - thank you!
