This is a link to download the software installer for the Shiva FastPath 5 software unit. It is the original and untouched installer program file from the original disks as I received them with my FastPath. Contained within this download are the Shiva Net Manager 2.5 program, K-Star 9.2 (dated 06/08/1993), KFPS v 5.1 (dated 11/25/1991) and some miscellaneous information concerning SNMP.

Regarding the legality of this download, Shiva Corporation has been through many hands since the FastPath hardware was manufactured. An exhaustive search of their website does not show that this software is provided any longer.
