There is big confusion in all places about "correct" MTU values.

The configuration that works well for us (both for sending "big pings"
from our Cisco itself and for "pinging / large-sized TCP packets from 
remote") is:

interface ATM2/0.124 point-to-point
 ip address xx.xx.xx.81 255.255.255.252
 ip verify unicast reverse-path
 ip mtu 1500
 atm route-bridged ip
 pvc cp7-811 15/124 
  class-vc dsl-2m-e
 !
end

(that's with route-bridged ip, which is not available in 12.0S, but the
key factor was "ip mtu 1500".  Just setting "mtu 1500" breaks things, as
does *not* setting anything - so we leave the MTU on its default value,
and just set the ip mtu.  We're on 12.2(12a), so maybe it's something
specific to this version and not helpful to you at all...)
