It seems faily simple to yank these values out, no? Even easier if you
use the all-in-wonder shell function SHGetValue().

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Values: KeepAliveTime, KeepAliveInterval
Type: DWORD

The only annoying thing is that the values may not exist. Well, it is
also rather annoying there is no way to set the counter.
