Yes, this is exactly what I was referring to, though Anton's
configuration has been further tweaked since that date given more
experience.  It's the first time I've seen a loaded wireless network
able to deal with the latencies that VOIP requires when it's under
serious load.

I'm trying to get a hold of those configuration files so we can try to
do the same thing in the home router work Dave Taht and I are up to.

But capturing that information in a BCP, along with the rationale for
the configuration would be a great step forward for the the world.
