1352 bytes coule be remarkably close to the TCP MSS . . .
perhaps there is some interaction with ppp where there is an overrun / lost
packet and the TCP window is mistakenly advanced?

i.e.
- 1500 byte MTU
- less 28 bytes for PPP header (1472 bytes)
- less 20 bytes for IP header (1452 bytes)
- less 20 bytes for TCP header (1432 bytes)

if, however, the MRU is actually negotiated to be 1420 rather than 1500 . . .


when you issue the "bk pull", it may be interesting to see the output from:
tcpdump -i ppp0 -n | grep mss


cheers,

lincoln.
