Re: Shiva FastPath Help?

["Steve ][" <sc-ii@hotmail.com>]

My unit looks like the first image on this page:

http://ps-2.kev009.com:8081/wct/fastpath5/disassemble.htm

But instead of the RJ45 connector, I have the 10-base-2 connector. So
I guess I need something (anything?) that will "convert the jack".
Then again with all of the recent followup-posts I just generated,
maybe I need to get another piece of hardware altogether.
  :)


Thanks.
