I have a leased line connection to the internet. I want to talk over the internet and download files at the same time. Has anyone tried to implement QoS (certain UDP ports must have higher priority than everything else) ? What PC is needed to do that?

If you are running Linux, you should be able
to talk and download files and just about
anything else you want to do all at the same
time. Any newer model PC should be able to
handle the load without any problem.

I'm not sure what you are concerned with re:
QOS on UDP ports. VoIP has inherent delays to
start with, and UDP is not a guaranteed
connection protocol anyway. But there are
programs like mon to ensure a service is
running and available, and providing the
service is not started from inet, you are
only talking milli-seconds before the service
responds.

I need a working solution to maintain a QoS on a 64K line, which is used for downloads, web browsing etc. To do that I need to set higher priority for certain range of UDP ports (I know them) which carries the voice traffic from NetMeeting.
