  We have approximately 400 NI5210 Interlan cards installed in several
different type of PCs (IBM PC, Zenith 286-16/386-16/386-20/386-25/386-33,
Packard Bell 386-16/386-33). These PCs are connected to our 20 Banyan servers
(running VINES 4.00 rev 1).  We are running PC/TCP IBANYAN driver (from
FTPsoftware, Inc.)  So far, we haven't encountered any problems with this
configuration.  PC/TCP is a full function TCP/IP package (Telnet, TN3270, FTP,
FTPserver, Finger, WhoIs, SMTPmail, etc).  The software costs $899 per server.
If you have a limited budget, you can set up one of your server as a TCP/IP
gateway.  IBANYAN driver uses VINES protocol, so it can be access anywhere in
your network.  Hope this helps.
