SNIP >>>Additionally, if you have experience with software used to restrict Internet access at public access Internet stations, please let me know what software you would recommend, or which programs you would recommend against.<<< Mark C. Vang Freya Ventures [log in to unmask] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark, Are you interested in restricted-access software that prevents the public from accessing certain websites? Or are you interested in software that prevents the public from bypassing the kiosk internet activity and accessing the desktop of your computer? If you are asking the first question, check out SurfWatch, NetNanny, and CyberPatrol. I think SurfWatch is considered the most robust of the three. If you are asking the second question, there are several options. For the Wintel platform, there is a shareware app that allows a user to customize the desktop configuration for Navigator, thereby restricting access to the desktop. The name is "Net-Lock". For the Mac platform, I have created a a virtually bulletproof kiosk solution using Netscape Navigator 3.0x and QuicKeys software. The solution takes advantage of the well-known but undocumented kiosk mode feature of Navigator3.0x. However, it only works for websites run off of a local machine. For those interested in this solution, I have documentation on the procedure and will send it to you, gratis. Please contact me off-list.
