Dave,

Having been caught shipping a router that tampers with the data stream
and permits remote config changes from the public internet, it would
appear that Belkin are now trying to spin things: the original Usenet
posting by a Belkin manager has been cancelled (but got saved here:
http://stevesobol.com/belkin.txt ); and there is now a message
hastily tacked onto their home page at www.belkin.com that attempts
to paint their current actions as "addressing customer concerns".

From the ongoing reactions I've seen in various places, I don't think
this barn-door closing will help to recapture their trust horse.
