Connection problems CNC ADSL in Beijing - MTU?

Hi all,

I have successfully gotten dsl working here in Beijing on
Debian but despite success with basic browsing, certain
operations fail to complete. From what I've found out there,
the MTU setting under pppoe needs to be set lower. However,
making this change doesn't help me.

Basically, any operation that pulls a file beyond a certain
size will end up failing. As an example, pulling the Debian
mirror list via wget (wget http.us.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.txt)
pulls about 20% then fails with 'Read error at byte xxxx/yyyyy
(Connection reset by peer)'

Anyone have a clue on what I should try? I get the same issue
if I load up Knoppix.

One thing I notice is that when checking out the results of
ifconfig for ppp0, the inet addr is a completely different
network than the 'P-t-P' network. This is different from
any pppoe examples I've seen on the net.
