Maximum Frame Size?

Howdy --

I'm suffering some confusion about the ax25 "maximum frame size" parameter.
Does this apply only to connected sessions, or is it applicable to UI frames
as well.

The heart of the question is, if I want to be able to run ethernet-sized IP
frames over ax25, do I only need to set the interface MTU, or must I set the
/proc/sys/net/<port>/standard_window_size parameter as well?

Thanks,

John
