It has the advantage of not being home-rolled; I never implemented some of MTU handling code described in the relevant RFCs.

May need a little more information. What kind of errors are you seeing from Coda (take a look at /usr/coda/etc/console, as well as venus.log in the cache directory). Coda does not like multiple interfaces very much for a variety of reasons; if it's a machine using tunneling, that might be related. What version of FreeBSD are you running, et al? You may want to send questions to codadiscuss@coda.cs.cmu.edu as that is usually more carefully followed by the coda folk,.
