[comp.dcom.lans] Default Netware Server

Thanks to all that have helped thusfar.  We were aware of the login fs/name
syntax, we were just a bit tired of it, since in our original ignorance, we
selected long server names.

If anyone from exelan/novell is listening, can we have a default command
or environment variable in future releases?  It could be as simple as
if a variable defaultserv=xxx then net4 would wait some small extra amount
of time for an answer from that server.  If no answer then it would pick the
lucky first answerer.  How hard would that be?

Or maybe a logserve command that would reset the current server to the
requested server if it is available.  That seems a little bit cleaner.
