I need a free or nearly free Surf Control Prog for my works network.

Any suggestions?

50 users, NT / 2000 / 95 /98

Lease line, firewall already there etc.

 

[Ono]

50 users?!

Don't be such a skinflint and buy a commercial one.

 

[Embattle]

Most the free ones tend to be crap.

I work for a charity so I gotta watch the pennies. I only want to block pr0n, warez and sadly http://www.hotmail.com, http://www.mail.yahoo.com etc. Anti Virus policy and all that. Budget would go to about £200

 

[Ono]

What you could do is write a letter to Microsoft asking for a donation towards the Charity for this.

You would, of course, have to keep any funds received as Restricted Income and keep this separately identifiable.

I am sure that if the charitable cause was deemed worthy enough by Microsoft they would be willing to help.

 

[Perplex]

That's a blinding idea Ono. Someone I know did that a while back and got a lot of goodies gratis from Microsoft.

Try it Luap, and in the meanwhile use some shareware

If you work for a registered charity, you'll get software from Microsoft at silly prices (I work for a healthcare charity, and we get W2K Pro for £30, and Office 2K for £50 a user !).

Try Sanderson MSL, who re-sell all sorts of software, and have these cheapo rates for charities. This includes other companies as well as Microsoft (Symantec, CA, etc, etc).

Cheers

bids: I do use Sanderson. We too get silly prices

I really wanted some suggestions as there's loads out there but I don't really have time to eval them all.
