It is true that it is application specific.  However, running applications
is one of those things users do.  I believe that the lock file created
by Firefox may also give the users grief. It is possible, likely even
that they would try to access the internet.  I was guessing that the original
poster was asking about things his users might call about and users 
rarely distinguish between applications and the system.  (One man's
application is another man's environment.  :-)  )
