If I'm not mistaken, taking out a subscription to SonicWall is optional. I'm using a SOHO3, without a content filtering subscription, and it appears that I still can manually configure access restrictions by IP number (allowed/forbidden), keyword, time-of-day, and web features (e.g. Active-X, Java, etc.). What I don't have is automatic downloading of a list of restricted URL's and content filtering (e.g. sex, nudity, profanity, etc.). I say, if I'm not mistaken, because I've never actually tried to set any of this up. But, I just took a quick look at the configuration screens, and it looks as if it all is functional. cmr -- Registered Linux User #241964 ---- "Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." -- Samwise Gamgee _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
