limiting access to any functions on Web Browsers etc.

[sutherlandp at ccc.govt.nz]

This question seems to recur on many lists, in different forms.

I am very interested in the answers as we start on a project to provide
public Internet access. We have to formulate lots of questions, and try and
provide some solutions based on what we wish to do/can afford to do etc.
Kiosk type browsers are I think a big part of any solution.

Q.Has anyone created a Meta resource pointing to some public access
solutions, such as Berkley public Library's Netscape tweaking & ... etc.
