This is not an excuse, but if you are having connectivity problems
what difference would it make if /net is mounted locally or imported?
There are several remarks about "reliability" of a remote resources in
that article and hinted at here, but the fact is that the reliability
of a cpu server under the control of a professional getting paid to
maintain it -- as in an ISP or an enterprise setup -- would be much
higher than your average (desk|lap|palm)top.
