Default Online Net safety, I apologise if this is FAQ's or OT

If anyone can recommend softwares for screening or monitoring the internet,
our 11 year old boy will be online with a cable connection next week. I've
heard of net nanny, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.

Basic safety in firewalls and AV protection I'm up to speed on.

I apologize if this is off topic, or if there's a better suited NG, but I
found in the past folks very helpful here...

Thanks,
NeilN

First line of defense: placement of the computer in an area with high adult
presence likely. Examples include living room, kitchen, family room. This
allows supervision without necessarily being obvious about it. I'll let
others speak to the soft ware issues as I do not know a whole lot about
that, yet.

Supervise, supervise, supervise. Password-protect the computer.Teach your
child how to find reputable material on the web and bookmark useful sites.

Here are a few sites that might be handy:

Internet Public Library Kidspace
http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/

The WWW Virtual Library
http://vlib.org/

Ask Jeeves Kids
http://www.ajkids.com/index.asp?o=0

Librarians' Index to the Internet

In the beginning there was a bass. It was a Fender, probably a Precision,
but it could have been a Jazz - nobody knows. Anyway, it was very old ...
definitely pre-C.B.S.
