Strange that older NetBSD version won't talk to the server.. Can the
older clients talk OK to non-NetBSD servers? I can't think of any
change that would have caused this. Especially since the server code
hardly changed at all since 1.2. Could you mail me a tcpdump output
from a client while it is mounting and shortly afterwards perhaps?

Also, make sure that you are using the -P option on the older
clients; the one change that was made in the server is that it
now requires reserved ports by default.
