I take it you're making some sort of telephone connection from home to work. Doesn't the SMB protocol use keepalive packets to monitor logins? Trouble is, I can't remember whether and where I saw that. Perhaps it can be configured to exceed the expected uptime of an NT server. :) I don't think inetd is an issue; that's just how the daemon starts up, not whether it keeps running.
