	Alas, the lmhosts file would have to be on the client
	machines, so you'd still ahve to convince them to
	help you help themselves.

	Pleas not that even if they have NT servers, they 
	still have to put the wins host name/address into
	a box in the cntroll panel.  

	Only if they get their IP addresses from a windows-
	compatable DHCP server can they get wins server
	adresses automatically.
