Unfortunately, there's no auto-login feature built into DX4WIN. However, 
you can make things easier by using this technique: After starting 
DX4WIN, click anywhere on the packet window, then press Enter. You'll 
get a little popup that says "No connection active". Press enter again 
and you'll get the list of available packet clusters. The most recently 
used one will be on top (at least in recent versions.) Press enter one 
more time and you'll be connected. At that point, you do have to type in 
a callsign, though you can also program it onto one of the function keys 
which might save a little time.

As for seeing the spotter's callsign, try making the DX spots window 
wider (or adjust the size of some of the other columns by positioning 
the cursor over the "|" at the top and dragging) and you'll see the 
Spotter column, it's the second from the end on the right.
