Don't count on it. There was a new bank here that was sending out 
handshake requests like the internet was on the LAN side of it's router. 
Anyone interested could have used that to get into the computer as a trusted 
internal remote terminal. 

I had someone i knew in England give them a call. According to the isp 
owner, that created a lot of instant activity at the bank.
