   That's not a patch issue. You just need to open the appropriate file   
   (somewhere under /etc/ppp, at least what I recall it was similar to where   
   Linux has the file) named "options" or something, search for the MTU   
   entry and change (may be also remove a "#" if there is one at the   
   beginning of the line) the setting. That's all. You have to go online   
   again after that.
