pfSense works very well for this. You can use it to setup VLANs (one for your PCs, the other for your VoIP equipment), and it has a traffic shaping/queuing mechanism for prioritizing VoIP.

Someone announced that they had a Beta package for the WRT54G (and possibly other 3rd party compatible firmware routers) that would achieve exactly that. Beyond that, checkout 3rd party firmwares that run on these routers, some have QoS and traffic shaping abilities. Thanks, Steve

Can people on this list share their experiences on how they partition a DSL for small business internet service with a router so that a portion is dedicated to VOIP and another portion to computers. Of course, the idea is to do this with a low cost router (under $100). Many Thanks C. Savinovich -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
