Note to self.  When my opc/modbus code goes to hell and wipes out an 
hvac unit; blame cyber terrorists, crappy vendors, and provide a random 
shady ip address.

This was sad when it was possibly an unprotected network, with poor 
password procedures, horrible protection code in the logics, etc etc.  
Now it even got worse.  Sigh.
