Recently I ran into the problem of high ISDN bills :) and finally found that a NFS mount using TCP makes use of the socket option SO_KEEPALIVE to see if the connection is still alive; the default is 2 hours so my ISDN router dialed every two hours. So I'm asking if it is possible to add a mount option for TCP mounts to turn off the keepalive on the socket? If yes, I'm willing to add this myself, provided I don't have to have it done until tomorrow :) -Toni
