<RANT> The school already has such a tool. Its called education. Teach the kids what 'acceptable use' means. Funny. The school wants free software (as in deutsche marks) but not software that is free (as in speech). Sorry. I don't mean to kill the messenger but I feel strongly that admins that enable censorship are no better then the scientists who developed the atomic bomb but took no responsibility for the devastation it caused. </RANT> Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Services, Inc.
