ncpfs

Hm.  That's pretty much what I'm doing.  I don't really understand how the 
"Tree" factors into all this.  I was thinking I might need to authenticate 
to the tree first, by using ncplogin.  That's why I was testing ncplogin 
and found that I can't make it not use IPX.

Is its failure to use UDP/IP a bug, or is that some expected behavior of 
ncplogin that I don't understand?
