    Deny Internet

    We have many convenience stores that must send information to out central office daily. They do this with dial-in connections. If we wanted to deny them access to a separate dial-up ISP, can this be done? They are Win 98 machines.

    Not that I know of, on the machine anyway. It would probably be worth asking the telco - either about blocking or itemised billing.
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.

    I think your right, Tuttle. But with PCs, it never hurts to ask. You may well get surprised.

    I realize they would have to get an ISP and it would be billed. Unless it was with one of those free providers. With itemized billing, we'd have to check every number they dialed, wouldn't we?

    I guess we'll just keep on checking each store as we visit it.

    Thanks. I'll consider this topic closed unless someone knows of a way to deny.

    We have lotus installed, also. There is a 'help' feature that has a link to a support website. If the PC does not have Internet configured, they get the wizard. Could a user bring in their HOME ISP information and use that to set up the internet on the work PC?
