If it is like the systems I've seen, you fire up your browser then before
you can access the system you have to either register or login. (For billing
purposes.) Once you have done that then it looks for the presence of a
cookie to get your userid/password on future visits so you don't have to
type them in. When your paid for time expires you have to re-register.

They don't grab it from his email client or transmission stream.

Hi list,
I need to setup a wifi hotspot and my boss is requesting a feature that he
recently found in a hotel. Basically, he plugs in his card, associates to
the WLAN and then... he gets an acknowledgement email !!!
How did they do that?

I guess he tried checking his mail and they have some app listening on ports
110/25. They grab his email address and then what? What do they do? What
next?

Indeed this is a nice feature but I have no real clue on setting up that
stuff? Any tips/hints?
