Wow, I missed this email, sorry. Does it have to be an OS X solution? You can check out PublicIP.net They have something called ZoneCD which is a linux based solution. However, it is also designed to be a simple bootable CD, so you really don't need to know linux. You just need a compatible computer. Everything else is done thru admin config tools. The machine specs they call for are fairly basic, and you can probably turn up a compatible machine by rummaging thru the garbage (I know I recently thru out a bunch of compatible machines). I have not yet used ZoneCD myself, but I did look into it a while back for a project. I'm sure it has matured even further since I looked into it. Oh, did I mention ZoneCD is a free product. I don't know if it offers a way to do prepaid card setups, but I know it does allow you to lock out anyone that doesn't have authorization (similar to hotels where you can connect to the hotspot, but can't go anywhere except their logon web page until you authenticate with the code the hotel gives you). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
