Nocat is the open source solution and works very well, I use it regularly. If your looking for a commerical $$$ solution check out http://www.nomadix.com/. I haven't used their product but I plan to check it out shortly.

Yup, you're right. It takes care of most of the problem. I got caught up
with the linux distribution, rather than this particular package, which, as
I understand it, I can run on my own system.

Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen the kit, and this particular distribution, but to the
best
of my knowledge, there is nothing particular about this distro that
makes it
show the kind of splash page I'm referring to.

What I think I need to do is have a custom DNS service that replies to
name
resolution in a particular way. So, on my small network i'd have DNS
queries
go to my own trivial DNS and resolve the IP to something other than the
"real" address.

Any thoughts?

I'm interested in serving up the same sort of "splash-page" that you
see
when connecting to one of the various wireless nodes in Manhattan -
you
know, you'll try to connect to a particular web site, but will see a
welcoming page announcing the node first?

Anyone know how this is done? I've been experimenting with a trivial
dns
rig, but want to know if anyone knows how precisely this is done here
in
NYC.

Thanks
