I wish I could impliment the same solution but can't.  He's on
dialup and has even disconnected his long distance service so he
doesn't have to pay for that.  A SP update of his w2k was hours on
the dialup.  It sounds just like the sort of solution that he
needs, but cable will never enter his home.

Thanks for the comment on ZoneAlarm.  I may have to rethink.  I
installed zonealarm for a friend who wants to know no more than
were the on/off switch is (it's been tough training to shutdown)
and it worked great.  He does only IE.  I have no personal
experience with ZA so don't know (got ijfw here and it is
wonderful, except I can't get some audio stuff to work on my
family's xp machines).
