[LM_NET] TECH RE: Locking down computers

[Anne Emerick <anneemer2@AOL.COM>]

There are technical solutions that will limit computer browsing to particular 
domains.? It's possible your tech person meant that it can't be done with your 
current setup.? You would have to purchase another product to do this.? A couple 
that I see are offered at:

http://www.wavecrest.net/products/cyblock/sa/index.html?- pricing is not here, but 
it does say educational discounts are available -- or

http://www.safe-install.com/programs/web-site-zapper.html?- is a shareware program, 
license is $25 -- my guess is that is per computer.

I don't have experience with either of these.? There are probably more.? I just 
searched on 'limit web browsing by domain"?? 

It is true though that it is very hard to sort out positive, learning internet 
websites versus just-junk.? I do know that at least one of these offerings allows 
you to restrict not just based on domain, but also based on time of day.? This 
might allow you to establish a restricted usage time versus free-access time.
