I don't think the point that I was making has been understood - the monitoring, i.e. statistics, is not affected by any filtering that may be in use. What I stated was that there does not seem to be any softwware that will give simple useable statistics for levels of usage in whatever format you may, or may not, require! Filtering is another topic altogether and the only filtering we currently employ is to prevent access to pornographic sites.

However, it takes forever to manipulate these into something that can be construed as being part way to useful. I am glad to see that among other things, those who wish to filter (=censor) can't handle the data that results :-) Martin Martin P Dudley Research and Innovation Services 29 Lang Road, Bishopthorpe, YORK YO23 2QJ, UK +44 (0)1904 706557 [log in to unmask] www.riservices.co.uk To each their need, from each accordingly to their ability %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
