I use WebSense for NT and it works well. However, I've lots of other
features that I want included like proxying for multiple IRC servers,
customer filtering on a per user basis, etc ...

The filtering of websites really works. I like it and it's cheaper than
SmartFilter.

LittleBrother (www.kansmen.com ) is cheaper but I've not used it.
