Network bandwidth problem

Hi All!
I have a little problem here. I'm going to have two employees here who
are making calls with skype.
There is a router (FreeBSD 5.3) and a NAT-ed network. Internet is
accessed via ppp (DSL line).
When the network is loaded heavily, skype is breaking up. Is there any
way to configure my router
to prioritize packets for skype users? The speed of incoming traffic
cannot be limited efficiently,
am I wrong? What I probably need is to limit bandwidth and/or set packet
priority by port number.
I'm not sure about the protcocol of Skype in this case because we would
like to use it to make calls
to regular phone numbers. I'm not really new to ipfw but what I have now
is a configuration that
was changed from an example. Any URL pointing to the right place will be
appreciated.
Best,
Laci
