"The router would grab a random HTTP connection every eight hours and redirect it to Belkin's (push) advertised web page." "In response criticism, a Belkin product manager came forward this week to confirm the behaviour was designed into the products..." Do they not realize that this has a strong possibility of breaking any web application every eight hours? What happens when a call to a site's javascript file, stylesheet, internal frame page, or XML data gets replaced by a Belkin advertisement? The site breaks and they get a support telephone call. Major class action lawsuit material, not just by every Belkin user but by every web publisher on the Internet. Adam
