<DIV><FONT size=2>A server-based filter would probably give you more control,
for instance with custom block lists, and better reporting. But some
of these filters are scaled to start at 50 users, so they may not be cost
effective for you.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>We use N2H2 (SecureComputing) Bess filtering, and are quite
happy with it. But we do have 50 users, so a server makes sense for
us. We use general and adult user profiles on our public computers with
different filtering levels, but can also temporarily override the
filter.</FONT></DIV>
