    1500 byte packets?

    $ netstat -I lhip0
    Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs
    Collis
    lhip0 65280 192.168.50 hiru_h 574 0 794 0 0

    That's for an HIPPI-LE (TCP/IP over HIPPI) network interface on hiru. I
    hope a SCSI interface would have a good MTU too, even if it is a bit
    slower than HIPPI...
