I guess no (i still have such card, but it's ISA - so it lives in a shoebox ;-)
But the remote system could be.
In theory, one could have a quota on the NIC (Multihead system).

No idea, not my network.
The problem is however the GIANT overhead of SMB/CIFS, which makes it slow everywhere (while SMB was always known to esp. suffer from high latency, _any_ latency is annoying)
I'd never consider mounting it (just kio into it when i have to, fetch what i need and then get outta there as fast as possible =)

From what i got from Davids mail, it's rather like the function is gonna be dropped (in favor of async/delayed readin) as it has proven to not suit the task.
