I am stumped.

We have several locations connected to an AGS+ via serial connections
to a public X.25 "cloud" (tcp/ip over the cloud ).  We are running
8.3(3).

Problem:

When pinging the remote router (over the x.25 link ) with data size of
999, I get no reply's.  Any other size up to 1500 works just fine.
Well, not exactly fine but it does work.  When data sizes are greater
than 999 reply times go up by a factor of 3 and we get much larger
data loss.  While I am no fan of X.25, this does sound slightly 
worse than usual.

The MTU on the link is 1500 bytes.

Here is the seriall interface info on our side:
