CfgReject MRU
What's the groups thoughts about this LCP negotiation. The local wants MRU
1400 and the remote is insisting on 1500. Oddly enough, when the remote
finally sends CfgReject instead of CfgNak, the local apparently tosses it's
config and settles for default 1500.

Sending an LCP Configure-Nak with MRU set to 1500 is pretty silly.
You can get the same effect with less trouble by sending
Configure-Reject instead. Plus, refusing to listen to the peer's
request for a different MRU is mildly silly, but might be meaningful
in some contexts (as with demand dial and an interface that cannot
have its MRU/MTU changed midstream).
Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with the trace you've
posted. Implementations are *required* to stop sending an option once
Configure-Reject is received. The only choices at that point are to
give up (and shut the link down) or give up (and accept that you must
use the default).
