Of course, this means you are doing ncp over IP, rather than over IPX. If
you *really* want to use IPX, you would need some sort of ipx routing on
your NAT machine (ipxripd apparently works quite well). In fact, I haven't
used IPX since I haven't bothered to setup IPX routing on our firewall, so
I use (when I *really* have to) ncp over IP.

The samba package has done this with smbmnt and smbumount for quite a
while ... of course, usually netware servers are not as common, so it may
be more worthwhile to setup pam_mount, but I am not sure if you can pass
the '-A hostname' option via pam_mount.
