I can probably get my USB Stringray out of the closet and hook it up.  I think 
the Windows diagnostic utility for it actually included some stuff about 
frames and cell sizes.  The browser based diagnostics on my Westell don't 
include anything interesting.

My upstream is supposedly 256Kbps.  I am running the ADSL modem in 
pass-through mode, so it gives my Linux router the live IP.  When I did PPPoE 
internally I had an MTU of 1492 and used the RP PPPoE daemon.
