This file includes the following:  

#if defined(ATHENA)
#define	ETHERMTU	1400
#else
#define	ETHERMTU	1500
#endif

We should get consider getting rid of this.  It was a work around for
the days when the gateways couldn't deal with max sized packets.
Unless it serves another purpose, it isn't needed anymore.  The 6.3B
vax if_ether.h just sets ETHERMTU to 1500, so the RT probably should
also.
