Me and many others have run a smilar hack for years, there is also a 
userspace project still alive which does the same.

The difference is that without it I would need to sacrifice almost half 
my 288kbit atm/dsl showtime bandwidth to be sure of control.

With the modification I can run at 286kbit / 288 and know I will never 
have jitter worse than the bitrate latency of a mtu packet. The 286 
figure was choses to allow a full buffer to drain/ allow for timer 
innaccuracy etc. On a p200 with tsc, 2.6.12 it's never gone over for me 
- though talking of timers I notice on my desktop 2.6.16 I gain 2 
minutes a day now.

Andy.
