What you really need is a full-featured bandwidth management system. ALTQ will not do what you want efficiently. You can use our software for freebsd either in your PPP box or in a dual-ethernet system between your router and your PPP servers to controll your entire network. The ET/BWMGR has multiple features to allocate and share bandwidth..you can define priority classes, bandwidth class groups and also define bursting which is controlled by overall availabilitiy of bandwidth. www.etinc.com Dennis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
