Actually, the RFC says
Description This Configuration Option may be sent to inform the peer that the implementation can receive larger frames, or to request that the peer send smaller frames. If smaller frames are requested, an implementation MUST still be able to receive 1500 octet frames in case link synchronization is lost.
Default 1500
But it _does_ seem that ppp no longer works with a mtu/mru lower than 1500 (at least the compressors Lose Sync).
