errr... on any network that i'm aware of, mack is the same guy so send the 
message to ALL nodes that mack is logged in on... this is the way that novell 
does it and it works with no problems... you cannot have more than one user 
with the same account name unless you want both users to "be the same user" 
as far as the network is concerned...
