Well. For the auth and page redirect part, Im very interested. I have search for some software for this and havent been able to find something I like so far.
We need some software for hotspots (wire or wireless) that when a user plugs in, dhcp will assign an IP and then when the user opens up a ANY web page, he will be asked for a username or code, and upon successful auth, he will be granted access to the Internet for X amount of minutes.. After that.. Internet is closed again and he has to insert another username, code or buy more minutes.. Sounds like the idea Mike is working on? __________________________________________________________________ Anton Krall CEO Intruder Consulting Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (55)5233-9281 Celular: (044)55-5105-5160 ICQ#: 4979450 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: antonkrall Web: www.intruder.com.mx Outside Mexico Tel: (+52)5233-9281 Celular: (+52)5105-5160 %-----Original Message----- %From: Hugh Irvine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] %Sent: Lunes, 06 de Enero de 2003 10:02 p.m. %To: Anton Krall; [EMAIL PROTECTED] %Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] %Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) Idea for an app... % % % %Hello Anton - % %1.
