FYI:  I've called them too and no one from their company seems interested in
selling their products.  The one time I did talk to them, the fee structure
strongly suggests that they are mainly interested in the big fish
(earthlink,etc..) because of equipment costs, etc..  I suggested that they
scale down their on-site equipment, charge a minimum fee (like the porn
filtering companies do), charge us say $1/user and let us sell this to our
users for, say $3/mo.

I too am really interested in a solution to this and will be watching this
thread closely.
