Well, the WS-C1400 wonbt get you to ethernet by itself.  I only mentioned it
because i didnbt think you could get a CDDI card for the cat5k, but looking
into cat5k modules, it turns out that i was wrong.

Looking for module info, I found this page that seems to cover your
cisco-based options pretty well:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/fiber-distributed-cop
per-distributed-data-interface-fddi-cddi/10576-54.html

I donbt know how common any of those modules are, however.  If you happen to
be somewhere near northeastern Illinois, I might give mine away since I
havenbt powered it on in years, but I donbt think itbs really worth
shipping a cat5k.
