Thanks Michael, I think we'll be okay on OS X. OS X automatically puts a link to the server in its Favorites after you access it the first time. This makes it easy enough to get to it after that.
Also, I think we are close to an OS 9 solution. I just need to figure out how to create a shortcut that will pull up the server. I'll keep you all posted.
