Since I wrote this, I've been informed that MSSes are now set automatically based on the MTU of the connection. I have to assume this is a somewhat recent development, because I recall MSS rules being required and having a positive effect once upon a time -- but I began applying them in 1998ish and have continued to do so ever since, so I never noticed this. Anyway, except for academic purposes, ignore everything I wrote and just set yourself a lower MTU. :)
