This thread has drifted all over the place and the only conclusions I can
see are:

The core infrastructure MTU is >= 1500
People are telling clients to set their Win95 MTU to 576
PMTU is randomly broken by clueless filtering
Some dial-access devices are buffer limited
A small MTU (53 byte?) would increase perceived response at the expense of
performance
