  I had manually set these to try to work out the problem earlier in my =
experimentation, but am now back (unless I missed something) to the =
natural MTUs on all interfaces.  The vlan=E2=80=99s all show 1496, and =
the bee=E2=80=99s (and lagg0) show 1500.  The options on each of the =
bce=E2=80=99s show VLAN_MTU, and a few other VLAN_ options.
