I can think of two possibilities for platform-independent solutions:1) I've seen web-browsers pop-up a window with directions on how to log into the remote system. So you wouldn't have a scripted login, but everyone would be told what procedure to follow to get logged in.
2) Make each link to other catalogs actually be a link to a dummy account on your local Unix machine (if you have one), and have the dummy account's shell be some sort of a chat script that will log the person into the remote catalog.
Neither is perfect, of course, but both seem feasible.
