However, I have a Pentax *ist DS and the 40D and both allow you to take exposures in Bulb (B) Mode for over 30 seconds.
The 40D remote capture utility, EOS Utility, allows you to program, as an example, 10 exposures of 120 sec duration at intervals of 5 minutes, with the 40D connected to the computer via the supplied USB cable.
Like I say, I just don’t know about the 350D or 400D remote software capability – maybe someone who has one can respond?

I didn't know I could do that with a 40D , I'm getting one shortly . That will be a very useful feature and once I figure out how to drive the beast I'll make use of that .
BTW : I use B on my trusty old Minolta XD5 for long exposures and have a lockable cable release for the purpose , ie I open the shutter , tighten the little thumb screw to keep the shutter open , and release it to close the shutter at the end of the exposure.
