[plug] e-smith anyone?

[Craig Reynolds]

actually forget about what I just said, I looked mtu and mru up. I cant see 
how changing these options would effect the number of times my machine 
dialed, and I have found that setting the retry-count option does not work, 
possible because the server is set to be connected all the time, and this 
overides the setting.
