<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>Community
Library in Sunbury Ohio has recently: </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>1) Switched from
Novell BorderManager to IPCop for the firewall
protection.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>BorderManager did an
excellent job but IPCop is open source (free) and easier to
manage.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>2) Connected the
internal network to IPCop for internet security.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>3) Added a wireless
access point through IPCop for library laptops used in classroom
training.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>The laptops are
slightly restricted and have DeepFreeze installed. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>4) Consolidated the
IPCop server and the Website server into one server under VMware Workstation
software.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>This reduces h/w
cost by allowing different virtual versions of Windows, Linux etc. to run
concurrently.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>VMware can be
configured to allow all changes or restore to a clean condition on the virtual
pc reboot.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=513035514-16102005>The clean condition
is an added security feature for the Website Server
software.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
