Have a look at sitekiosk (www.sitekiosk.com). Its a professional program for creating public access internet kiosks. It lets you allow users to only visit particular sites (eg. the heritage ones) and blocks everything else. There's a free demo and a "non-profit" version for 99 Euros (about £65).

I should have added that as well as a separate network we use the "non profit" version of SiteKiosk for all workstations in the public and gallery spaces as well and have found it very useful.

A museum I advice is looking at the possibility of giving the public access to heritage related websites via a computer located in one of the galleries. They would of course like to stop the possibility of this being used to access inappropriate sites by using a filter.=20 >> Its a really powerful program with about a million options so the only thing to watch for is that it may take you several goes to get all the settings right.
You can use it with a touchscreen, mouse or trackball. Devlin sell nice keyboards and trackballs for kiosks if you want one
