[ale] MTU/MRU

[David Chow]

do you have asyncmap 0?
if you have an 8 bit connection, this will speedin things up significantly
because asyncmap tells pppd not to escape any characters.

I'm having a different problem(with 2.1).  Our connection stays stable for
days and then suddlenly it can't keep it up for more than a minute.
Sometimes when I fork a pinging process, pinging the other side, it
says up for long periods of time.

Anyone have this experience?
