Probably want a dialup modem/gateway/router/type thing (basically a modem,
network hub/switch all in one) and use a schedule feature to lock out one or
all PC's IP addresses 24/7 or custom time settings. I have a DG814 (DSL),
basically you want one of these but obviously dial up version but with the
same features such as firewall, NAT, forwarding, 4 way hub/switch, DSL
gateway, timer, IP blocker/timer feature) So you can block each IP and only
allow a certain time for net connection.
I've not had any problems with my DG814.
