Free online storage on Box.net - mounting to file system in Ubuntu

Box.net offers 5GB (25MB file size limit) of online storage for personal use. I came across it when I started to play with iThoughts - mind mapping application for iPhone.
I wanted to be able to edit my mind maps not only with iThoughts but from my computers at home and at work.
IThougths can integrate with Box.net. You can export your maps in FreeMind format. Box.net can be accessed remotely not only with their web base interface. You can install box.net iphone application to browse the content of your folders. Even more you can mount the your box.net account in your linux file system.
Your system must support WebDav file system. In order to do that go to your 'Synaptic Package Manager' in Ubuntu and install library: davfs2
Then Connect to Server with:

• Service Type: WebDAV (HTTP) (if you have a business account with box.net you might have to select https)
• server: www.box.net
• folder: dav
• user name and password for box.net

You can create a bookmark to easily access the box.net storage.

Update:
user name : leave blank (It doesn't work if you enter it here)
