The only other companies that make board-based IP for VMS products are CMC
and Interlan (Racal-Interlan, Micom-Interlan? not sure who has the IP products
now).  Neither of them, to my knowledge, has done a BI board product.  Lots of
vendors (well, 7 or 8) have host-based products though.  On most newer BI
systems, you should have enough spare processor power to handle the protocol
processing (unless you've got it seriously loaded).
