> 1. Is anyone else using a similar setup (i.e. RAF)
	yes, we do
> 2. Any pro's and con's of using MICOM's NI5210-8 board? (they are inexpensive)
	we use the NI5010 card, and now the WD8003 (Etherlink Plus), the WD
	gives roughly the same performance, and is cheaper.
> 3. Any suggestions?      
	RAF is great.  Datability's copy protection scheme for the PC's
	is an administrator's nightmare.  We hate them for that, but we
	love the product.

Over all I give RAF the highest reccomendations for linking PC's to VMS.
However, Datability should be shot for their stupid copyprotection which
has wasted more time and is easily defeated (copy2pc the disk first).
