What's the point?

You can prioritise as much as you like at your own end, but as soon as it leaves your premises and enters the 'net, all bets are off!

Even the contention ratio of the DSL circuit (as provided by your ISP) can kill 
you.

QOS is really only useful in a point-to-point scenario, or in a meshed network that honors QOS on all links.

If you really want to experiment, grab an old PIII for $50 off e-bay, and setup a linux box as a router behind your DSL modem. You can play with QOS as much as you like then, without forking out $500.

Any recommendations on an ADSL router with QOS for VOIP built in? Anything sub $500 would be great.

Thank you
