It should be done automatically with the TOS bit.  Though you might have to
adjust the txqueuelen paramter of your PPP interface.  Of course this is
assuming the routers on both ends of your link are Linux or at least
prioritise according to the TOS bit.

And if your application does not set the TOS bit correctly, you need to
either fix it or use ipchains to rewrite the TOS bit.
