I've got Sun's running 4.1 and 4.1.1.  Is there anyway to configure the
maximum packet or segment size.  I'd like to limit it to 1024 but they
are negotiating for a size of 1460.  At 1460, my packets are getting
fragmented and under some circumstances this is a problem.  At 1024 I
can side-step this problem.  Any help?
