Re: Network access control / logging for SOHO environment

IPCop.  (www.ipcop.org).  Yes, the OS it uses used to be a Linux variant,
but there is NO reason to ever see a unix command prompt.

Subject: [PCTECH] Network access control / logging for SOHO environment

One of my customers wants to put DSL / Cable at each of several small
satellite offices which currently only have dialup internet acccess now.
However, at a minimum they want logging of web sites visited.  And
depending
on what audits of the logs reveal, maybe content control too..  Sites
would
have 2 to 4 PCs each.

AFAIK, this eliminates using the cheap stuff like Linksys, right?

They don't want to drop in a *nix PC (no current *nix experience in
house),
and they want easy remote administration since the offices are scattered
around the country.

Does anyone have suggestions on hardware to consider?
