I'm told by a colleague that ome of the later versions are actually inferior to 2.x -- he said there was some problem in later versions that made the GatorBox run out of memory after a while. > The problem with my particular GatorBox is that the former users of it had > set a password on it which makes it so that I cannot reconfigure the > GatorBox using the GatorConfig (if I remember correctly) utility.

It's listed in the Hardware Manual (and mentioned no [sic]] a couple of web sites). You connect a terminal (or PC or Mac) to the serial port (VT100, 9600 baud, 8N1), set the Ethernet switch to "test", power the GatorBox, and you should get a menu. Select the code memory test, which wipes all the settings. However, you will need to re-install the GatorShare software afterwards, which will require a Mac and a "download server" (could be a TFTP server). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York More information about the cctalk mailing list
