In my village they use RouterOS for the wi-fi Internet access. It allows you to configure bandwidth and probably MAC ID as well. It will require a login. This is just a GNU/Linux distro ready to do this. I'm not really sure what more it can do, but google for it and yo shall find. You probably will have to pay for it, though, and I'm not sure how well they comply with the GPL. -- Carlos MartÃn http://www.cmartin.tk http://rpgscript.berlios.de Nowadays everything has infrared and wireless.
