: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??

:) this is a good one!!! :)
 
  2.1.X has a traffic shaper device that can be used to attach 
  devices and limit xmit traffic on that device. I don't know if you 
  will be able to specify a specific host by using the IP address setting
  for the shaper device, you'll have to look at the source to find out :)
