The empeg is suffering from dentist syndrome...

Since I've tried to capture the problem in a log, it's been behaving properly! I've even had it in the $%#@-ing freezer a bit (and let thaw out a bit in the frig to avoid condensation problems).

Works. Like a charm. Don't understand.

At least I now know how to get a log out of the unit with hyperterminal (it was actually very easy, but you all know that already, of course )

Thanks to all for the help though,

Cas
