    As I said I also have a router running tomato v. 1.28. I am looking
    at it now. "QOS" it is not obvious to me which menu item can track
    connections or how to configure it?

    It's simply a matter of swapping the plugs to go from one to the
    other, both work well and I have been using DD-WRT for long enough
    to know what the normal readings are. I just installed tomato on a
    WRT54GL this week in order to try it and am not as familiar with it yet.
