[K12OSN] standalone spyware / content filter -- need suggestions

[Jim Hays]

My suggestion would be IPCop and add Cop+.  Several schools that I know 
of are using this and are very happy with it.  The Cop+ addon will add 
DansGuardian.

Easy to set up.  Easy to manage.  I rarely touch ours and it just plugs 
away doing its job.

ClarkConnect is another alternative.
