I'm trying to NFS mount 2 NetBSD machines.  I'm able to NFS mount from a NeXT
and a Sun.  but the problem occurs when trying to export a filesystem. from
one NetBSD machine to the other.  
I'm exporting /usr/src on a machine called benway to /usr/src/benway on a
machine called slabibm.  
the mount command I'm using is 
mount -t nfs -r -o bg,soft,intr benway:/usr/src /usr/src/benway 
on slabibm.  

I don't rememeber exactly how the setup on benway is.  

the machine i'm mounting the filesystem on hangs that session.  If I do a
netstat on oanother session, it looks like it is probing, but not establishing
a connection.  The machine I'm mounting from (benway) shows that the
filesystem is mounted.  I don't understand why this isn't working.  Thanx for
any info.  ...alex...
