Some commercial sites and service providers
blocked by CYBERsitter
All user web pages hosted by any of the following companies are
blocked. If this seems extreme--it is,
especially since CYBERsitter has the
ability to block individual URL's without banning an entire domain.
CRIS.com

Concentric.
Pathfinder.com
The web server for Time
New Media. Blocked in response to their publishing a
search

C2.Net is a former provider of anonymous shell accounts and now
manufacturers high-security web server software.

One of the largest ISPs in Texas. IO evolved from a BBS run by
