Actually the above is wrong.  I don't use port ranges at all, just 
packet sizes.  It allows me to blast away with p2p, interactive ssh and 
scp file copies all while having two g.711 and one g.729 voip 
conversation going on a dsn connection with a 384Kbps upload speed.

It is based on the premise that smaller packets should have higher 
priority.  There will be exceptions of course, and empty classes have 
are there for that also.  For the common case, no configuration is 
necessary.

Give this one a try:
