If we were to get two ADSL lines into the house, what's the best way, if at
all, to organise some sort of QoS system so that small packets where to run
through one router, and big ones through another. Please excuse my "not so
sureness" of the situation, but how I see it is that a file download/picture
etc would have a larger packet size? Where as text (like from a
website)/game packets would have a smaller size? I'm thinking along the
lines of a Linux router box with two routers coming off that?

Ideally, if you request data from a website any small stuff such as text
comes through one connection, and pictures come through the other
connection. Is this doable? Can imagine greatly speeding up web surfing and
game play, while downloading at the same time. Problem is that I'm flatting
with 7 other computer savvy people, so the one connection doesn't get
utilised too well.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jono
