In the cisco world, all it takes is: interface <foo> fair-queue
That's it. That's all it takes on the ISPs part to provide a minimal amount of QoS. Cisco's documentation clearly lists how IOS handles the queuing. It's not full policy based traffic shaping with RSVP and all that crap, but it's enough for a many situations.
Larry's situation is highly complicated by "the internet". I've never known anyone to be happy with VoIP across the internet. It's hard enough to make it work properly within a single ISP's network _with_ their assistance. Across the wastelands, forget about it. (Why do you think GRIC built their own global network for moving VoIP traffic?)
