OK, if you cannot find a FastPath 10base-T module then

Something like this for example:
http://www.amplicon.co.uk/data-comms/product/Industrial-Media-TB14-310.cfm
or
http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Results.aspx/Networking/Media-Converters/Ethernet/Compact-Media-Converter-10BASE-T-10BASE2/n-4294963488/p-0
(although hopefully cheaper)
On eBay item 130321913334 looks suitable.
Perhaps the cheapest way to connect it would be to add an older
10base-2 PCI NIC to a PC and have it bridge to your 100base-T net.
