How to simulate slow traffic

Hi all,

I have a strange request hear. Usually everybody would ask for more speed, rather then to slow down traffic. However I am developing Websites on a Windows ME system, using a local Apache, MySQL and Perl installation, so that I can test everything while I am working on the code.

As the most users of the sites, I am developing, are using slow internet connections, I would like to simulate slow modem speeds, in order to see how long it takes to load the sites via a slow internet connection. Is there any configuration option or additional module I could use with my Apache Webserver, in order to simulate slow traffic.

PS: Even uploading the site to the hosting provider, and test the download from there, isn't a real solution to my problem, as I have a very fast internet connection (Cabel modem).

Thx for your help
