Nokia, cisco, nomadix and colubris all make boxes that do what you want. Colubris has an integrated wireless AP, the nomadix works with almost any AP and the cisco and nokia solutions work best (if at all) with their own APs.

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.
