It's a tennis-game on the LARTC list, Gustavo!  :)

 : Good point... and the answer is: allways.

Strange ratio--20 to 1, but I don't know a great deal about DSL 
provisioning.

Well, good luck with it.  You could consider following the lartc.org 
HOWTO on PRIO qdiscs with embedded SFQs [0].

While it's not a bad idea from a traffic control perspective, there 
are so many ramifications of changing the MTU that I don't find it 
worthwhile.

 : (OT: I wonder, if the kernel team doesn't want to include IMQ, 
 : what's their recommended solution for this problem, on a router 
 : with more than 2 interfaces)

The developers have recently been working on something called ifb, 
which is intended to be a replacement for IMQ.  I don't know too 
much about it, but there are snippets of documentation about the 
'net if you are on good terms with google.
