Ok, wild suggestion:

- Take 2 serial ports connected together with appropriate NULL modem,
running PPP.
- Route said user's IP range out one PPP port, 
- All traffic from the other serial PPP port goes to the said sub-net
you want to run slow.
- Manage how much bandwidth they get via setting the baud rate on the
back to back
  serial ports: 1200 baud through 115Kb

Well??

Cheers
