What I did was to add a static IP mapping in DHCP for my VoIP adapter 
and then added shaper rules to push any traffic to/from that IP in to 
the high priority queues.  I am not sure though if this works correctly 
because if I start web surfing or something and try to use my VoIP, it 
seems like bandwidth is still robbed from the VoIP and the quality 
suffers.    Maybe I did not set it up right, or is it possible the 
shaper can not prioritize the traffic fast enough to keep the VoIP 
clear?  If it matters, my connection is 512/512.
