Try with Squid - it's an http proxy with lot of features, including access control lists, traffic shaper, and lots of other tools to monitor bandwidth and user activity (in a basic form), usage, make pretty graphs, etc. One caveat, however, is that you must force the company to use it as a proxy for all computers on the network, or if you can control network equipment you can make transparent proxy so people won't even know they're using a proxy. Take a look at http://www.squid-cache.org Software might look kinda scary at the beginning, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly. -- Radoslav Dejanovic Senior Associate to Mayor's Office City of Zagreb, Croatia
