Shiva makes the EtherGate which has 2 ports which can be independantly
set up to perform LocalTalk routing, remote routing using a modem
(like a Shiva TeleBridge) or shared serial (like a NetSerial).  The
EtherGate does not have the full set of TCP/IP capabilities of the
FastPath.

The EtherGate lists for less than the FastPath ($2399 vs $2795) In
addition, you should now be able to trade in a FastPath 1, 2 or 3 and
get an EtherGate for $999 (similar to the FP-4 upgrade deal).
