Unfortunately, as nice a box as it is (that counts for most things

the sole benefit is the jump to 100MB over the standard ethernet
card in the 3000/800, so any solution that is going to work would
need to give me access to 100MB+ at the other end of the FDDI.

A cheap little box running linux/*BSD/etc should be able to bridge
between FDDI and FastEthernet for you nicely.

Sure, it's not as sexy as some "real" gear, but will likely do the
trick.

It'll take far more than a 68K to do it, however. :)
