You could try connecting to the server the hard way,
then make an alias of the mounted share, put it in the
apple menu or dock. From then on the alias goes
straight to the username password dialog (unless the
share is mounted already, in which case it goes
straight to the share). If there are multiple shares
you might need multiple aliases per server, but maybe
can authenticate only once.

This of course does not explain why the shares don't
show up in the chooser. Can OS9 really deal with SMB
or was that introduced in OSX? Or are these shares on
the mac server, that would be mystifying!?

Someone mentioned putting the server in the favorites
list, I'm pretty sure that's an OSXism. Wouldn't quite
bet money on it  though.

There is a local mac user group email list at
hmaus-l at lava.net. Someone there should have all the
mac answers you could want and may even be willing to
come out to Liholiho.
