Hi guys,
	First I would like to thank all the guys involved with traffic
shaping on Linux. I have been using it since mid 2001. I first started with
CBQ using cbq-init.v6.2. This got my attention and started to test it. The
results were not that accurate. I then started to see if I could figure it
out for myself by doing it manually but what a nightmare. As you guy's know
the doc's are vapourware! I got a lot of help from the Adv networking HOWTO
and Stef Coene but it still was painful. Then along came HTB!!! I can't tell
you how it changed my life. Thanks devik!!!! you are a star. I hope your htb
get into the mainstream kernel.

I run an ISP and in South Africa where the cost of comms is very expensive
and htb is a life saver. The market is very cut-throat as well. The likes of
Packeteer Sitara and Cache-flow or even Cisco are ( with our currency in the
third world doldrums ) not an option!!!

So now I have HTB and with a few lines of code ( Plus the help of Squid ) I
can beat the above mentioned products. 
What I would like to know is would anyone like to sponsor a GUI to set up
HTB. As I have gotten 80% thru the project, and as times are tough in SA any
help would be appreciated. There is a HUGE resistance to Linux here. SA is
MAD on MS and brand names like Cacheflow et al. My thinking was that a Web
based front end to the product would hide the apparent complexities of
Linux/tc/htb etc.
So I wrote a perl script and dot/graphviz output, thanks to the stuff from
Stef Coene and have almost finished it! 
Once again Thanks all!
