Why do you allow for damaged packets at all?
I used analog async ITU-T V42 modems for a *long* time (fortunately, I was
able to move away before V9x hit the market). You really want an error-free
channel without compression for regular Internet over PPP domestic use, and
any modem still on the market should be able to deliver that to you just
fine. Just configure it for error correction without compression, and have
a proper error-free short and well-shielded serial connection to it if it is
an external modem.

At that point, it is easier to just configure the kernel to do what you want
re. QoS, shaping and policing.
