With multiple servers on one NetWare LAN, we've found that the "default"
a user sees is the least busy one at the time.  The simple way to get
the right one is to have them login with login fs1/username, etc.

A simple DOS batch file on their machine to load IPX, Net3 and type
this line for them solves the problem for non-technical users.

Anybody have any other ideas?
