Here at the <mumble> corporation, we have 37 zones, all with
Kinetics boxes.  We did have one zone with a Gator Box, but
we could not get it to support NCSA Telnet.  It also crashed
a lot.  After investing an unconscionable effort to make the
Gator Box work, we gave up and went with Kinetics all the way.
The KFP4 is a breeze to install.
