Not a whole lot. Normally, you could try pinging with the -f (don't fragment) and -l (size of packet) settings, but if the banks block all ICMP, it's not going to work.

I would stick to the default TCP/IP settings, ie. an MTU of 1500 bytes, path MTU discovery turned on, blackhole router detection turned on, etc. and leave the banks to play with the Intranet of their own creation.

My apologies, it's kind of hard to tell on the Internet ;)

I will set the TCP back at default and at least acheive a 20% success rate...and will get on the Banks back about it...
