I also forgot to add about QOS is ensuring your upstream bandwidth is
controlled.  If you have an external modem then it is very, very easy to
overwhelm the modem buffer and suffer massive performance degradation.

I highly recommend looking at the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control
HOWTO (http://lartc.org/).  It has some cookbook type of examples for
deploying QOS with external modes.
