I accidentally deleted the original post - ah well. We have a similar problem here - which we are hoping to solve by moving the unix box to where the users are :-) However I assume you have users at the central site who are using it as well.
I suspect that your overall proportion of telnet traffic is probably pretty low, so you could probably implement priority queueing to give your telnet traffic absolute priority with very little risk of locking out other traffic. However, it could just be that telnet packets are getting queued behind large ftp packets and getting hit by a large latency - priority queueing won't cause a telnet packet to preempt a large packet already on the wire (which is probably just as well). If priority queueing doesn't fix the problem, perhaps you should look at some of the QoS techniques used to minimise latency for voice? For example, frame relay fragmentation?

Priority queuing with work, but Weighted-Fair (which should, as the other poster said, handle this already) is the best choice for this. Weighted-Fair is setup in a way the high bandwidth traffic doesn't choke small bandwidth applications (like Telnet). Otherwise Priority or Custom queueing are your only other options.....
