Out of curiousity: why simulate? How difficult is it to test with a real dial-up connection? > The common answer in the corporate world is a set of products from a > company named 'Shunra'.

To save you a bit of Googling, here are a few URLs from my old bookmarks. I cannot recommend any of these because I have not looked at this stuff for ages (ages in internet time, but still...). Hope this will help you get started. I don't remember whether any of these will let you simulate the bandwidth of a dial-up connection (I think NIST Net does). They may let you play with latency, packet loss, maybe jitter (I doubt the latter). Some of them may have a different purpose, e.g. protocol debugging, and will not be suitable. I don't remember which is which, though I suspect NIST Net is closer to what you need than the others.
