I asked because some older versions had issues with MSS clamping under
some circumstances.  1.22 is fine.

Yes.  1400 is just a good number to test with.  Using the highest
possible MTU with things still working will give you very slightly
better performance (slightly fewer packets on large transfers).  I'd
try 1460 next, if that works, try going up by 10 until it breaks, then
back down until you find the sweet spot.  I'm not familiar with ADSL2,
nor German Internet services, so don't know what the ideal MTU would
or might be.
