SLIP: had to add MTU with 2.0.20

Hi, just for your information: I have upgraded my slip SERVER (the one
that runs diplogin) to the latest kernel revision and I had to define
the MTU value in the CALLER dip script (the definition was commented
out from looong time ago) or the connection would fail. Only when I
uncommented the MTU definition the connection was successfully
reestablished.

Since I had not changed anything else, I suppose that the kernel switch
from 2.0.15 to 2.0.20 has removed a default MTU definition.

Now everything runs OK again. I even have a strange feeling that the SLIP
link is faster. Nothing objective, though.

Ciao
Carlo
