America Online Version 7.0 and higher can be tweaked like AOL 6.0, however the adapter that is installed and used by AOL caps MTU. You can lower MTU below 1400 bytes. 1400 bytes is the highest and most optimal for AOL connections. Tweaking, registry edit, and DRTCP will NOT get the program to have a MTU higher than 1400. The software will reset back to 1400 if it is successfully set higher.

By default, MTU is set to 1400 bytes upon installation of the client.
