Hi,
Tnx for the reply's.
The setups I use back home are all 1.23 based (some with heavy CP use) and I
have as good as no issues.
I've got an Alix board running 1.3B4, but its not in production yet.

But as I mentioned b4, I'm just on holiday in this hotel, further on I've
got nothing to do with it.
I already helped them setting up the CP and create a more or less decent
login page for it.
I think I will just leave the Traffic Shaper disabled, then it seems to be
solid.
I don't feel like reflashing it to 1.23 and add all the CP user accounts
again ;-) (unless they would offer me a free stay...hi)
I guess a 1.3B5 backup won't work in 1.23  (don't know actually, never
tried)

Kind regards
Y.
