Ooooops - I guess I should have said "dang near any kind of traffic"... You suppose their content filters are tweaked a bit tight down under? Jeff

You can also install an "intelligent" firewall and a bandwidth shaper to control those things regardless of app. My firewall does virus scanning at the packet level for the major Internet-based protocols - HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, etc (I expect that they will support IM protocols in the near future as it becomes more heavily used in the Corporate world) and our Packetshaper can classify and control damn near any kind of traffic. It gives me the ability, for instance, to allow students to use AOL for IM but not for file transfers or they can fetch music with Kazaa but not share files out to the rest of the world and I can do these things from a single web-based console - no desktop configuration required. They dont really give me the logging capabilities that you might want for IM but they do mitigate the "threats" associated with IM.

If I allowed my users at this time to say run MSN, AOL, Yahoo, ICQ..etc without a third party APP to scan/control....these things make basically by pass Prescanning and I must then rely purly on desktop scan's Trend Offcie client... I guess I could go on ..it's an on going fight for me here... _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
