Hi Nick,
Actually, the first thing I did was put the line in fstab. Curiously, it would 
not mount the shared folder at boot time, but after it was booted, I could 
mount it with 'mount -a'. I thought maybe fstab was being read before the 
ethernet connection was established.

But, I didn't pursue this because the remote folder is not always available at 
bot time. Depends on which computer is booted first. So I still needed to mount 
it later, which I do have now.

The autofs looks like it might be helpful. Thank you for mentioning it.
