Apparently not,  from what I can see,  or at least not the way w98 does.

Here's a snip from where that one bit me,  along with a bit of reply from

What I need to do here is figure out a way to _automate_ that login process, 
so I can have a machine that'll boot right into using drives elsewhere (on the 
Linux box) as a file server.

Once you get past the login hassle,  go into "sharing and connecting" (at
least that's what it's called under my Warp Connect setup,  I don't know what
version you're running there and what it might be called in there),  and click 
on "connection".  At this point if you're not logged on you'll be prompted to
do so.  (This is a _local_ logon,  as opposed to a remote one.)  There'll be a 
"create" option in there,  and in the box that pops up when you select that
you should see the other machine listed under "workstations",  and its
sharable resources listed as well under "share/alias",  plus a box to assign a 
local drive letter to whatever you're setting up.
