Thanks James, however I don't get the second option - is that for woody/sid?

As for shaper, it installs one binary (shapecfg) and some doco.  from
everything I can tell about it it merely limits the bandwidth available on a
connection.  ie. it doesn't differentiate for protocol or class (as CBQ is
supposed to do).

I'll be doing more research today, but any more pointers would be
appreciated.
