VICOM Internet Gateway also supports all Internet client applications such as Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, Eudora and Fetch, automatically connecting to the Internet when users launch one of these applications.

Since the Gateway enables network administrators to centrally control what Web sites can and cannot be accessed by network users, this bundle suits the educational environment quite well.
