[conspire] bandwidth limiting & DSL question

[Sean Wolfe-Justice]

Howdy there folks. Hope you all are doing well. . .

Okay, so a friend approached me with an interesting scenario and I wondered 
if there might be a penguinish solution. He wants to restrict upload rates 
on his DSL connection to <=1K while allowing full download rates.

With a Linux box and two Ethernet NICs, one to his DSL router and one to 
his LAN, would this be doable? Does Linux have functionality to limit 
traffic rates in this way?

Inquiring minds want to know. . . thanks.
