It is possible to do this using the ODINSUP shim, but there is an easier way 
(at least, I think it is easier...)
1. Load the ODI drivers
2. Get the packet driver shim ODIPKT.COM from hsdndev.harvard.edu in the dir 
   /pubodipkt
3. Load Banyan using the CSIBAN (Cabletron) drivers.

Works fine!
The biggest problem is setting up your NET.CFG file. I run WfW 3.11, Novell 
VLMs accessing a 3.12 network and Banyan Vines 5.50. Here's my NET.CFG
LINK SUPPORT
     Buffers 6 1600
     Max Boards 4

LINK DRIVER NE1000
     Frame ethernet_802.3
     Frame ethernet_II
     Frame ethernet_802.2
     Frame ethernet_SNAP
     Int 3
     Port 320
     Protocol IPX 0 ethernet_802.3

NETWARE DOS REQUESTER
     First Network Drive = F
     Preferred Server = Fys_Oliver
     Show Dots = On

The LINK SUPPORT section is important for ODIPKT. If you do not use WfWg 3.11 
you can remove the last two frame types.
My batch file to load the networks is:
lsl.com
ne1000.com
odipkt 1
winpkt 0x69
:Nov
ipxodi
vlm.exe
:Ban
ban /nc
csiban
redirall

This works fine for me, with Qemm 7.x I can still get a good 630 K free and 
have both drivers loaded. This is also due to the fact that I am using a 
NE1000 card, which does not have onboard RAM. A bit slow, but it does save 
upper memory blocks....

I've configured it for NDIS drivers as well, but I forgot how. I could have 
that running within a day, if you'd like to see the setup for that.

Hope this helps,
