Thanks for the anser
The client i've used started first with a Appletalk-Connection to a
Novell-Server. When I then connected to the Linux-Box via TCP the
connection dropped.. After changing the order of mounting (first to the
Linux Box, afterwards to the AplleTalk-Connectio everytings seems fine.
Strange land ...
