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.
