Hello Rahul,
	The MTU u see initially will get re negotiated to 596 once the ppp
interface is up. To check the status of the MTU run ifconfig as root and
check for the MTU value displayed or even better, run iptraf, which is a
network statistic and diagnostic application.

	To diagnose the slow speeds which u r experiencing, I suggest u do a
shell login (using minicom) if possible and do a zmodem download of a
fairly large file (200kb+) and check whether any CRC errors appear. If
they do u have to incr the port speeds.

	Let me know of the result.
