Sure; they're at
http://www.intel.com/support/si/dial/netmodem/software.htm
AFAIK, this software could manage both the shiva netmodem and
the fastpath devices. There is no mention of the shiva fastpath
at the site, except as an example of something that can be
configured using the Net Manager software. I knew as much,
but I did not know that you could do it from the windows
version too.

Ok, I'll start searching for this.

That would be the trickiest part... I think that I should
try wiring the DE9 directly to a 4wire phone cable; it is easier
to find a phone cable than a female DIN8.
Thanks!
