<unsnip- restored from Andrew's previous posting> Yes we severely restrict what they can do on the remote network. No kids. No saved paswords. Firewalls on. Updates on. We select what AV and when it updates. We select the anti spy ware. We selct the ISP. We remove napster like software, messenger etc. We also educate them why we do this and what could happen to their business network if something goes wrong. We select the hardware, Pc's switches AP the lot. Starting to use Cisco AP's to ensure secure wireless inside the home. This also means the ISP can remotely monitor the AP if needed. Preferably they have snapgears at home as well as the office. Really only works when the client agrees that we also manage their soho network. </unsnip> No, I agree with Peter that since you have defined a console devoid of everything except its main function, installing and maintaining a non-windows environment would be a) easier and b) far, far cheaper. ( and could still be more useful for other activities.) jh _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
