Subject: [LARTC] Bandwidth control using Linux or other router

I have a requirement to be connected to a T1/E1
leased line WAN. Because of QoS issues, I am
considering these options :-

1. Purchase a router which has some form of 
   bandwidth management - this would be 
   expensive, rite ?

2. Purchase a low end router with 1 lan 1 wan,
   and connects a dual LAN linux before it.

   Will this additional hop slow down anything?

3. Purchase a supported T1/E1 interface cards
   and plug it into the Linux box.
   
   This could be a problem for me because of
   support issues. What if it does not properly?
   What if there are problems with the card
   or the drivers ?

Any recommendation?
