[nzlug] IPCop & better traffic shaping

Hi all

I have IPCop as my firewall, but the QoS tools by default are a little
lacking.

I've now gone to Worldexchange's Voip offering (VFX) and need to improve
the traffic shaping to get quality calls.

Anyone played with advanced traffic shaping on IPCop with either
'plugins' or manual tweaks?  I'm getting a bit out of my depth and the
VFX is starting to have a low WAF...

I have found references here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Advanced_QoS_for_IPCop
which suggests using this, and a new kernel (also referenced)
http://mh-lantech.css-hamburg.de/ipcop/download.php?view.176
The install does not seem to be very current, before I bring my firewall
down for a while - is anyone using this (QOS_NG) on the latest IPCop 
version?

thanks
Howard
