>Description:

	Kernel PPP doesn't pay attention to IPTOS_LOWDELAY, but uses
	a table of port numbers, which isn't a generic method.  The following
	patch fixes this (the table is still used, but in addition
	PPP queues the packet in fastq if IPTOS_LOWDELAY is set. 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Use ports other than standard ones for some purpose and run ftp
	simultaneously on a slow link.

>Fix:
	
	This one is from Tatu Ylonen <ylo@cs.hut.fi>
