"mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,workgroup=DOMAIN,password=PASS
//BORG/SHARE /mnt/somewhere" will mount an SMB share called SHARE
on server BORG using credentials USER, DOMAIN, and PASS. Most of the
time, people forget the workgroup= option. Note that you can also
try -t cifs , which may work better. Or not. Try both. Using cifs,
you'd say "user=USER,domain=DOMAIN". If neither one works right,
then add "port=139" to the options, since sometimes it won't fail over
to that port when 445 doesn't work.

You're forgetting aalib :-) But yeah, no X = no graphics, pretty much.
