- Y'all might be interested in a product (although still in beta testing)
- called MacBouncer (you know, as in doorman with muscles). It's been developed
- here at Melbourne University, and does pretty much what you're asking for.
- The person to get in contact with is:
- Peter Kakris (email kakris@mundil.cs.mu.oz.au )
-
- Hope this helps,
- Marty.
