Does anyone know what IOS version to use in place of 12.3(13a) on a 7204VXR 
with NPE-G1?

Release Notes

Symptoms
Cisco routers configured for BGP may experience peering problems when
running iBGP connections with MD5 authentication.

Conditions
When MD5 passwords are configured between IBGP peers the session may not
establish. You may see an error like the following:

%TCP-6-BADAUTH: Invalid MD5 digest from x.x.x.x(179) to x.x.x.y(11113).

Workaround
Enable BGP session but without MD5 passwords conigured
------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think Cisco wants every customer running 12.3 to turn off MD5, or 
do they?

Suggestions?
