How can I change an interface's mtu size?  The only places I can find mtu
mentioned in the man pages are in "netstat" (which displays it fine) and in
"route" (mentioned once in passing).  I tried using it in a couple of route
commands, and while I didn't get any errors, it had no effect according to
the mtu size displayed by netstat.  I'm trying to increase the mtu of my
slip interfaces to something beyond 296....
Thanks
