["Steve McAlexander" <mcalexander@veriomail.com>]

COMPANIES COMPETE TO PROVIDE SAUDI INTERNET VEIL
American software companies, including Secure Computing and Websense,
are competing for a contract to block access to Web sites the Saudi
government does not want its citizens to see. Corporate clients use the
same software, usually to prevent employees from accessing pornographic
sites or other inappropriate sites at work. (From The New York Times -
