This makes sense.

I suspect a third queue is in order too (eivind's suggestion) - less 
important than the interactive queue but more important than the 
non-interactive one.  It should be possible to fragment packets that 
go into this queue if they look like they're really bulk.

We could then manually set certain ports to be either interactive, 
semi-interactive or bulk.

These changes will have to wait a bit as I'm in the middle of some 
rather intrusive changes with the aim of being able to use the ppp 
pseudo-device.... they're on my todo-list now :-I
