Priorities on the ppp connectin?

[Austin Hook <austin@canuck.com>]

Is there any way to control the priority on the ppp connection.  I mean if
I have a background process  (or more likely another virtual terminal)
doing a large download, but elsewhere I am trying to do some interactive
work remotely, I don't think merely changing the niceness of the download
task will affect its hogging the bandwidth to my isp, since that is not
primarily a cpu bound problem.

Or is that largely uncharted territory.
