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

Apparently, Cayman used to have some sort of back-door for getting
back into locked GatorBoxes, but it says on their web site specifically
that they are no longer offering lock-out support for them, which is
kind of a shame, since they are extremely useful boxes.
It's listed in the Hardware Manual (and mentioned no 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,
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).

Great! I'll have to give this a whirl once I get home today.
Thanks!
