NIST produces a linux tool called NISTNet that allows you to introduce
delay, lost packets, and more. I'd personally go with the ipfw solution Blaz
suggested for simplicity's sake.

You can take a spare PC with two ethernet cards and put FreeBSD on it, then
use dummynet and configure something like this:
ipfw add pipe 1 ip from A to B
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 1Mbit/s delay 400ms
This would simulate a 1Mbps link with a 400ms delay. dummynet can also
simulate packet loss. For more information on dummynet you can take a look
at:
