Mounting Network Drives

I'm on a PowerBook,
I go between two networks (home / studio),
I have other computers at both places (both Macs and PCs) I'd like to connect to - multiple computers, multiple drives at each location.

Manually going to Go / Connect and mount each network drive manually is getting old QUICK!
Don't like Browsing to them as it does not mount the drives in Finder like Go/Connect does - and it also got old.

Is there a way I can mount the drives via the command line (terminal)? Or some other solution?

I rather find a command line solution to this, as I can then make a bash script to run from the terminal to mount all the drives in one network area in one shot.

TIA

you can mount network drives from the command line in this fashion

mount_smbfs //[username]@server/dir /path/to/mount/piont

YEAH !!

YEAH!
Kinda...

It does not show up in Finder. :(

But I can work with that as far as my backups go and whatnot.

But, is there a way to have it show up in Finder?

Thanks! :)
