Hi,
how did you get on ? I found in the past that some applications (Lotus
Notes was a common one) would use the largest packet they could, by the
time it's been wrapped up in the security etc it always needed
fragmentation. Might be worth checking that icmp messages are turned on
the vpn router - these should tell the client to reduce the mtu.
