Ugh.

This is *really* unusual.  Many networks increase their MTU to well
above 1500, so that even tunneled connections still are able to carry
full-MTU packets - but running a network below 1500 sounds like a 
Really Bad Plan to me.  

Expect fun with all the sites out there that have Issues with PMTUD.  Lots.
