Apologies for responding to my own post, but just to clarify, "ifconfig
eth0 mtu xxx" indeed changes mtu to xxx as displayed by the "ifconfig
eth0" command, but ICMP pings to anywhere are unresponsive until after I
bounce the network service.  That's what I need to confirm as either
correct or aberrant behavior.

Thanks.
