You could try 2.4.10. There is one bug where smbmount will fail to
reconnect if it is too slow (>5 seconds).

It moves the "keepalive" sending into the kernel (it's just a timer).
For now I wouldn't recommend running that on a production machine, 
however.

On NT/win2k there is a registry key for how long until the server 
disconnects an idle client:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\au$
-1 to 65535 minutes (?)
