Certainly it will if you have the common Berkeley implementation.
However he was talking to a Cisco terminal server. It will happily
accept 1500 byte SLIP packets. I'm fairly sure that this doesn't even
depend upon what MTU is set on the Cisco. It uses the MTU to
determine when to fragment outgoing SLIP packets, but will always
accept full-size incoming ones.
