Linux kernel has had a traffic shaper for quite a while. In BSD-world there
you'd use something like ALTQ (see www.kame.org).

Otherwise given the cost you seen to be incurring (20*1024*0.12 ~ $2500
[*]), I'd suggest talking to your ISP. Maybe something like citylink with
some traffic management at the ISP will be more cost effective for you.
Either that or invest in one of the incomming Cisco DSL modems with the
features you need.

[*] Can't be right? Otherwise, nice to see our fuel dollar is helping your
company deal with extreme net use. ;)
