AOL Internet Access Control

Hi

A friend of mine wants me to set up AOL as their ISP because of the
parental controls offered. They would like to use the "Internet Access
Control" software for the younger children. From the web pages it
appears that this only allows Internet explorer and Netscape to be used
and blocks all other programs. Does anyone know if it is possible to get
programs like Windows Live Messenger to be allowed as well.

Forget about their controls...

simple and works with all the browsers i have tried, including aol.

That part of it is not my choice. They just want me to set it up for them.
