Re: Howto setup a Internet cafe network???



I would look into Internet cafe software. One of my friends started one up
and it ran from a basic server. Each computer connected to that server and
you can restrict access, create timed passwords, shutdown all computers.
etc.. It designed for that type of situation. I would look up that type of
software. I dont remember what his was called but im sure you'll run into it.
