Winframe and same Station IDs (OpenInsight Specific)

We have a customer running OI3.5 on a standalone Winframe server (vn 1.6 service pack 5). This means that they cannot run the NT service and so are running the NPP.
I have noticed that all of the stations seem to come up with the same station ID - the name of the Winframe server. Does anyone know of an easy way round this so that we can get unique station numbers for each station.
Many thanks

I do recall seeing some release note (3.5 or 3.6) with something to the effect that you can alter the station ID (@station). We had the same problem and had to discontinue our transaction control on REVCOMMITLOG as this relies on unique station IDs.

Yes, I have seen that note too although I suppose that the ID is not the problem per se for us as we only use the results in our own code i.e. there is no background process that will rely on the station id - I was just trying to avoid users having to enter their own id everytime they start up (or finding some other method).
