Ron
Understand your system but in my outlets I either have no staff or staff
that run the bar and not the computers. The only time the staff in these
locations deal with the computers is a quick phonecall to say problem. Your
system I am sure would work in a true cyber cafe with computer aware staff.
My system are more like Internet Kiosks but without the expense.
