Won't using QOS on the router between the Terminal server and DSL line
fix this problem?  I think it should, if each TS port has its own IP...

BTW, Linux QOS (atleast last time I played with it) is real cool.  I
once used it to turn an ethernet port on my Linux router at work into a
56KB max line.  Very intresting.  Unfortunately I think I may have lost
the script I wrote to set it up (it was over a year ago).

Or use QOS on the DSL line...
