There is at least one, and possiblely three ways:

1. Hughes Lan Systems Prolinc (a set of NDIS drivers, PC/TCP and Maridian LAT),
has a NDIS driver for Banyan Vines (4.0 P0,1&2). You need to run NCSA on FTP's
dis-pkt.dos that will then allow it to run concurrently with the Hughes stack
on an NDIS MAC driver. (this puppy will allow you to concurrently run Lan Man,
Netware and Vines).

The next two exist, but havn't been varified:

2. Banyan's Vines 4.0 Patch 2 supports a multiprotocol NDIS interface (prior
Patch 1 beta NDIS drivers didn't support MULTIPLE protocols - only Vines. 
Banyan states that the P2 NDIS driver does). You connect NCSA to the NDIS
stack the same way as #1.

3. Cabletron is reported to have a Vines 4.0 patch that is The Packet Driver
Interface (so claims some Banyan users and Banyan). This would allow both
Vines and NCSA to run on a Packet Driver. Banyan MAY include it in a future 
Patch level).

Yes, on Compuserve (GO BANYAN).
