I'm working with a number of PCs (mostly PS/2s) and need a way to detect
network cards.  What I'd like to do is have the autoexec.bat log the user in
(Novell Netware) if they are connected, and not even try if they're not. 
Checking for specific software on the local PC is not an option.

This would be nice, as I install the Novell software up to a month before the
hardware end of our unit gets around to installing the cards and bringing the
network connection up.
