[WEB4LIB] Re: resticting users to one website

[stephanie spearman]

On our OPACs I create a persistent connection to the
catalog with the DOS 'route' command on top or I guess
you could say *behind* everything else. But I also
pile on the reghacks & browser proxy restrictions and
kiosk so they cannot type in a web address (IE5.5 &
NT). A page with good DOS explanation is
'computerhope' (isn't that a pleasant name?):
