Well then it may actually 'just work' in the windows drivers. The MTU is 
settable in the normal way for a windows network driver (although I've never 
tested it). If you do test it please let me know the outcome.

Keir: Have you ever considered having the back end publish its MTU to the 
frontend, so the two can be kept in sync?
