Using the NFSmanager, mounts from remote machines are mounted under /Net  
with their entire remote file system path, for example:
/home/next2/users/user5/public
will be mounted under /Net as:
/Net/home/next2/users/user5/public


What I would like to be able to do would be to shorten that path to make  
it /Net/next2/public or whatever I designated.  Yes, I know that is  
possible with the normal mount program, but is it possible with the NFS  
manager?
