You could use the program(NETCONNECT) mentioned on the page above and put in
the users startup script to log on as a "generic" user

The "help" reads:
Network Drive/Printer Assign/Release Program
Command line format is
   NetConnect userid password drive: \\host\path [delay time in seconds]
   NetConnect userid password lpt_number \\host\printer [delay time in
seconds]
   NetConnect status


 The user id and password values will be ignored in the Windows 95/98
 environments.  Some value must still be provided on the call to the program
 though.  This is due to a limitation in the windows network client in these
 versions of windows.

 Notice that the path for a network drive assignment may extend beyond the
share named when using this program.

Subject: DOS Program.

All. Does anyone have a DOS batch program that will automatically map a
drive to the IFS and then disconnect it from the IFS. We have a Window 98
PC that map to the IFS OK, but after 1 hour or so it will loose it
connecting from the 400.
