MSS now set

MAR now properly sets the MSS option of outgoing TCP packets with a set SYN flag. The MSS is limited to 1400 bytes so that it falls under the 1492 MTU size of the PPP interface. The best solution would've been to have this set by the DHCP server, but we were unable to get that to work.

Setting the MSS was tested on: yahoo.com, cnn.com, and youtube.com, and seemed to work fine for all of them.
