Using 2.2.0.19 with the tcp-protocol the following works for me:

In this case the user is jspies, the context itg.it.pers.su, the
server SUN_BIT with dns-name bit.sun.ac.za and the mountpoint
/mnt/novell.

ncpmount -o tcp -S SUN_BIT -A bit.sun.ac.za -U jspies.itg.it.pers.su
/mnt/novell/

I don't know whether this wil work with 2.2.0.18.  I am using this
version on advice from the author as we have to use tcp as the only
protocol. I think slist uses ipx.

Regards.

Johann.
