[NCLUG] Bandwidth throttling when SIP connection is in progress.

I take that back. The iptables "condition" match apparently hasn't
been maintanted. It doesn't compile against recent iptables versions.
The kernel module is fine, but the userspace libipt_condition.c file
(part of iptables) doesn't compile.

So condition won't work, and I really need some other way to do this.
(Although maybe I could revert the iptables version without reverting
the kernel version?)
