The 3Com 3C16772 OfficeConnect� Web site filter extends the
Internet access filtering capabilities of the 3Com OfficeConnect Internet Firewall 25 and
3Com OfficeConnect Internet Firewall DMZ. With this filtering software, you can specify
Web site categories—such as pornography or racial intolerance—that you don't
want your network users to view. The filter automatically forbids access to Web sites
matching these categories, operating from a frequently updated list of objectionable
sites. (3Com licenses the CyberNOT list, which is developed and updated weekly by The
Learning Company's Cyber Patrol unit.) As an alternative to blocking access, you can set
up the filter to log access by users. The 3Com OfficeConnect Web site filter is provided
on a one-year subscription basis, with a one-month free trial period. The filter can only
be used in conjunction with the 3Com OfficeConnect Internet Firewall 25 or 3Com
OfficeConnect Internet Firewall DMZ products.
