This is a FAQ. (Although I don't know if it appears in any FAQ
document.) mode is not a mount option for vfat. Check the vfat, fat
and msdos sections in the mount man page; do you see mode there?
Thought so. You do see umask, though. Set umask to 000 and it will
work. Better yet, create a dosusers group, add the people who you'd
like to give access to that group, and set the umask to 002.

I previously had IE4/NT4 on the same box and by comparison the combination
of Linux / Navigator ran at least 30-40% faster when rendering simple
HTML + graphics.
