PPTP errors Eko SVN 10700

Description

All I can tell you is since the changes to the pptp over the past few weeks, I am no longer able to the pptp to link to dd-wrt routers (both running svn 10700). The pptp will connect between the two, I can manually create a route between the subnets. But doing any sort of heavy usage of the PPTP tunnel creates RX errors according to ifconfig, and eventually the tunnel completely freezes. My guess is that this is somehow mss related. Someone needs to determine the exact size of the max mss that can be used on a pptp link, as it most likely varies according to encryption used, where or not you are using dsl (PPPoE), etc. I also noticed that the MTU of the PPTP tunnel according to ifconfig does not match those that are stored through the web interface nor those on the pptpd client of server config files. Right now, pptp is totally useless for me, and I will assume others who want to use it to link to dd-wrt routers. (I will use openvpn in the meantime).

i changed the mtu handlich last week to increase the compatiblity with isp's. consider that the mtu of the physical interface is not the same as the mtu of the ppp0 interface since it has a different overhead
