In our setup (and if I remember right, the server is down & thus not
accessible during NRW school holidays) we have enbd running on the
clients. That is afaik not dependant from the runlevel the client will
execute, but always running in the dark backgrounds of LTSP. Then we
use MToolsFM (I hope that was the name - search and find out yourself
if needed) on X to have access. But this tool doesn't do more that use
the mtools to access the local floppy. So for runlevel 3, where you
have telnets to the server running, you should be able to use mtools
as well, having to specify the right enbd server aka terminal to
connect to its floppy drive. Read the mtools fine manuals (of course
they need only be installed on the server in case of runlevel 4). In
runlevel 3, you sit at the box IIRC. That means, you can do a
mount /floppy and access the contents directly. No enbd needed.

Have a lot of fun,
