Anybody have any idea how to prioritize Skype packets over other

How do I tell them apart from other packets, other than relying on
TOS?
I manage a small ISP and the outgoing bandwidth is limited and I need
to prioritize or otherwise optimize the latency etc.
Server runs stock RH 9 with iptables and tc (using HTB)
Any ideas would be helpfull, thanks.

I don't think there is a use of any such hack and, or trick; you are
trying to outsmart many routers over the Internet, which (Internet) is
and, or (routers) are beyond your control. May be, even the very next
hop will ignore all your priority tricks.
