Subject: WWW browsers for kiosks
Does anyone know of any WWW browsers that are
designed for use in a kiosk environment? More
specifically, the WWW browser needs to have the
ability to "lock-in" preferences so that they cannot be
changed even during that session. Also, it would
need to be able to specify which functionalities are
installed. For example, during install, or in an
administrative mode, newsgroups or email
functionality could be disabled.
Thanks for any information.

If you look at JSB's new web site

you will find a link to one of our new products called The Kiosk.
The aim of this product is to provide exactly what you are
looking for.
Hope this helps.
