It can control access from the LAN to thousands of Web sites that might be deemed inappropriate for business use. Twelve selectable Web site categories are provided so Internet access can be tailored to the needs of the organization. Just like the Custom List and filtering by Keywords (see Chapter 8), access to these sites can be enabled or disabled. The 3Com Web Site Filter is provided as a 12-month subscription, and can be automatically updated weekly to ensure that the filter keeps pace with the ever-changing Internet. The Firewall comes with a one-month subscription free of charge. The 3Com Web Site Filter uses the CyberNOT list, which is licensed from The Learning Company. This list is developed and maintained by The Learning Company's Cyber Patrol unit. The sites on the CyberNOT List are reviewed by a team of Internet professionals, including parents and teachers. They use a set of criteria that categorizes Internet sites and resources according to the level of possibly objectionable content.
