Amen.
Side question? What happens is somebody is unwise to use Belkin routers
on an internal, not-connected-to-the-Interatubes network (Like, for
example, the network I tried to get ex-employer to install to serve the
un-patched Windows 98 heart monitors and stuff that were favored targets
of the crackers.
I am having trouble understanding why a router would need a heartbeat
from some foreign location. Or even what it would do with one.
