Everyday.com is a pan-European Internet Service Provider. In addition to their ISP services they also provide free web based email and web portal/information sites for over 20 countries in the local languages.

Everyday.com wanted to increase their brand exposure through public-use Internet terminals in major airports and shopping centers throughout Europe. Their intent was to recoup expenses through advertising on the kiosk homepage and on the booth itself. Connection would mostly be ISDN dial-up.
-
The Kiosk software must be extremely stable and fault tolerant. It must be virtually “hacker-proof” and secure, with remote update and management capabilities.
Ephibian started with the open source Netscape 4.7 browser and wrapped it extensively with code to develop a rock-solid public-use Internet terminal.
The Kiosk terminals are easy to install by a local technician with intuitive screens to establish dial-up or LAN-based ISP connection information.
The terminals can use ISDN or analog dial-up connections and/or LAN connections to conform to the communications within their airport, or other, location.
The terminals are remotely manageable through a centralized management server located in Luxembourg . Terminals are configured to check in nightly to upload their usage statistics and download software updates as necessary.
