Hi, I have a PC that acts as a VoIP gateway using an internet telephony provider to make phone calls.. Data between me and the provider will always be from one IP address on my internal network to the provider.. I have a 1Mbps/256Kbps ADSL line and the voice stream is highly compressed requireing only 30Kbps of bandwidth.. The problem is that when my Mozilla Mail client polls for mail or someone else on the network (only 3 PC''s) opens a web page it causes the voice to stutter similar to a bad cell phone signal if the page is loaded with graphics it makes the stutter worse which can be quite irritating.. I currently use Shorewall on my co-located web server and like it a lot but have been using Smoothwall in the office (just because it was already there and we didn''t have any problems with it) and am thinking about changing that to Shorewall as well.. Would there be any feature of Shorewall that would make it possible to prioritise ALL traffic from the Voice gateway IP address to and from the provider IP address and so minimise the breakup when somone else does something? or is this a more complicated thing to do? Thanks..

I have this setup myself, and I have used wondershaper to shape the bandwidth. It is absolutely fantastic and dovetails into the scripts with shorewall Regards, T
