	They may be overpriced, they may be a real bitch to configure, and,
at least when we got ours, had to rely on OPS (Other Peoples' Software) to
work, but I don't think you can knock on them for reliability.  After our
box got over its infant failure mode (bad power supply), it's been rock
steady.  We've had our KFPS-2 for almost 3 years.  Other than when we had a
power failure, I can remember having to reboot it once.  It's basicly the
most reliable piece of equipment we have.
