Fragmentation is rarely a Good Thing(tm) when it comes to IPSec. The
only thing I can think of is to adjust MTUs. ADSL is not always but
typically PPPoE. This chops down an unfragmented MTU to at most
1492. Sometimes a figure of even less is needed, like 1460.

I can't say for sure if that's what's wrong, but that's my best
guess. I hope that's helpful.
