We've had a version of PC/TCP that shares the interface with VINES
since early 1988.  Presently, there are two: Our part PC-215 sends
native Ethernet IP packet, and work with any Ethernet VINES driver
newer than 2.10.  Banyan sells another version, which sends IP packets
encapsulated in VINES IPC datagrams, and requires the IP router option
on the VINES servers, so they can re-encapsulate the packets in the
correct native IP framing when they leave the VINES subnet.  This is
useful if you have networks which IP doesn't normally use, but it is
a bit slower than the native Ethernet version.

I don't know of anyone else who has supported either driver-sharing
interface.
