Well, I got the ppp auto dialer working (thanks again Brian).  Now, I
can't get the NFS to mount at boot time.  It works if I type it
manually:

# mount_nfs <host>:/<directory> /<mount point>

but not if I put it in the fstab file (which is where I think it should
go based on the mount_nfs and fstab man pages).  I have the following as
the last line in my fstab file: 

<host>:/home.1   /h1   nfs   rw   1   2

any ideas what is wrong or more likely what I have missed?
