It is a very interesting question :-)
But the answer needs some investigation...
I give you some theorical ideas, maybe not practical...
This is maybe a problem of delay, not of bandwidth, or a problem
of flow control.
A tcp/ip connection should not saturate the link,
except if tcp is not well configured (i.e. touching the backoffs
timers in Jnos, or using a modified version of tcp).
A too high MTU can cause delay.
Maybe your AX-IP packets are rejected in the path because the increment
of the delay is causing that the IP-ttl field (in the IP header) is
reaching the maximun ttl of your partner (or intermediate IP router).
(look if you receive some ICMP messages back saying that).
Or maybe your AX-IP traffic is so high that a minimum FTP connection
is doing that your ppp link colapses (the cause is then the AX-IP).
About wour question, how to limit the traffic, in Linux there
is a "traffic shapper" in the kernel, but I don't know if it
works.
