> That should not be a problem.  My users conference using a voip line from an ITSP so at any time there may be 4-8 calls passing over the firewall and terminating in the MeetMe conference.  It works great.  I would recommend Pix BTW.  Linksys would be my next rec.  But hey, they are both Cisco now...  8)

I recommend m0n0wall (http://m0n0.ch/wall/)  which is a NetBSD based
firewall that includes traffic shaping. Easily managed via a web
interface. Runs on any decent PC with 2 or more NICs. Also on Soekris
or WRAP embedded platforms.
