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.
