[WEB4LIB] Re: Restricting access to the web on library

[Andrew Mutch]

I have finally gotten around to creating a "home" for the Netscape help pages
I've created, including the "lock-in" page that Bob listed.  .

You can visit the "home" for "Securing Netscape in the Public Library" at:

http://northville.lib.mi.us/tech/netscape.html

I'll be adding additional resources soon but for those looking for this kind of
information, this should get you started.
