The Cayman makes the FastPath look plug and play, mostly as you notice the
support really stinks. OTOH I also have a couple Cayman boxes, and I
remember downloading all the files off the cayman ftp at some point. If you
can accept a big email attachment, email me directly and I will send it off
to you.

BTW the key item though is MacTCP encapsulation, which I don't know that
the Cayman does, and the FastPath I am sure of.
