   Uh, some PC networks require a login usercode to access network drives,
   etc (3Com does). I can imagine that user joe1 logs in, boots up DOOM net
   and chancellor2 gets a message "Please join the DOOM game on ..." :)

Yes, I can imagine it too.  I can imagine lots of things, but that's
not the point.  I don't think DOOM behaves that way, and if it did,
the single notification to chancellor2 wouldn't add signifcant load to
the net.
