The functions performed by Bayan Vines can be roughly equated to the 
functions performed by a Novell environment, IE it is basically a combination 
of a LAN transport protocol, a Network topology, with a Server access 
methodology for that environment. Although I have had a brief browse over the 
main aspects of Banyan as it applies to Cisco Routers, I have never actually 
seen such a beast...........;-)
