You could always plug a box fan in near your Cat5 cable. The mag field will F up the signal. Or maybe a space heater. Worked for a couple of PCs I had to fix. People couldn't believe that you shouldn't have these surging devices near a PC.

I need to test some real time traffic, but I need to create some 'interference' to simulate a flaky internet connection. I am trying to create controlled latency so that I can determine at which point latency (and jitter) becomes a big problem. Would this be a job for QoS?

I have a bad pc in a box somewhere that can shutdown an entire segment with crap. Was fun hunting it down.
