Everytime I connect to my ISP, I get packets of 1500. Is there a way to
decrease the size of the mtu packets?

Thanks, Nicolas Blais

You can try adding "mtu <my mtu val>" into your pppd options file
(or command line if that's how you use it)..

This is in the manpage for ppp(8):
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
set mtu <value>
