E-mail watchdog
With so much unsolicited X-rated material showing up these days, most parents are likely to think twice about letting young children use e-mail.
That's no concern with this new service, http://kinderstart.com/filteredmail.html, from the popular Net index for parents and caregivers of children under seven. All incoming and outgoing mail is scanned by a proprietary filter to prevent the sending or receiving of obscene mail.
