I know of several school districts using ClarkConnect software. It is a Linux based device that has some capabilities like this. I have another customer using Smoothwall (http://smoothwall.net/) as well. In fact, one such customer is using the Mikrotik router to force connections to transparently proxy behind the smoothwall box. I haven't seen the smoothwall interface, so I can't speak for it specifically, but my understanding is that what they wanted was a way to track websites that were being used. -- ******************************************************************** *Butch Evans *Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering *MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
