	Probably better for Tech List ??
	 
	Use papercut to manage internet & printing (i.e. $6 allocation
set each semester, autocharged 10c/Mb or printed page, 50c per colour,
auto locked out when no credit, pay bursar get receipt, given "top up
card" that they enter themselves to put payment into their account,
local blacklist based on occassional checking of Papercut for largest
noneducational download sites, rely on Netspace & DEET for naughtly
blocking (if anything they seem over aggressive), also have draconian
response to those we catch   ("climate of fear" model !).  
	Have added a brilliant Vis Basic interface (designed by our
Tech) that interrogates and alters data from both Active Directory and
Papercut simultaneously as well as performing many automated tasks like
password reseting and new user management.
	Looking to integrate our behaviour management database so that
LT transgressions can be added like any other observation.
	Anything else ?

A rival to Papercut (they're both Victorian products) is Gaia
Netcharger.
