I just set up a FastPath for my local/ether connection.  I had a hell of a time
getting the config. to take.  When set from a localtalk attached mac, it would
dump all the IP info.  The only thing that would work was the appletalk packet
stuff.  I finally got help from someone who dumped the config in from the 
ether side and it worked.

I called Shiva, they have had some similar, but not exact reports of problems
configuring the box.  If anyone else is having a similar problem, try using
K-Star 8.0 instead of the new 8.0.1 they are currently shipping.  They say
you need 8.0.1 if you have any FP 2's or 3's on your net.  We don't so I'm
happy.
