Yes, that finds them as you say.

Looks like it uses a UNIX-like operating system (embedded linux?) too, with 
names like /dev/uart0 and /dev/flash0

/dev/uart0
uart0
adm2
adm2
/dev/flash0
Error: Create node /dev/flash0 failed!
131.107.1.10
129.6.15.29
209.0.72.7
207.126.103.202
128.138.140.44
192.43.244.18

That is interesting:
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/TimeNwNistGov

ServerLocation:          Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington
ServerContact:   Judah Levine ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (303) 492-7785

It seems a bit odd, with a time-server located at M$, with the admin contact at 
NIST.

All those have:

AccessPolicy:    OpenAccess
AccessDetails:  Open access for up to 20 queries per hour (one-day average) 
from 
any one address, others by arrangement

so no problems with them, unless the server admins change their policy.

You might consider sending a few people letters asking them to cease using your 
time server. They could then take them to a retailer and ask them to be fixed 
and if no joy to a credit card company if they were purchased on a credit card.

Dlink would surly act if retailers were forced to give refunds or swap them for 
units that are not affected.
