I too was inspired by Bob's posting to immediately drop Shiva an e-mail at tech@shiva.com, encouraging them to post updates, if not on an Internet accessible FTP server, at least on AppleLink as Novell did (that's where I got FastPath Mgr 5.1.3 - from the Novell folder). We followed it up with a 2nd e-mail asking a question. We also have not received a response. Ben Schmidt Bell-Northern Research, Ltd. Ph: (613) 763-3906 Information Technology P.O.
