Hey Kris,
I have one more for you. www.locustworld.net It is a mesh based
network that offers qos, and security. I have it running in a test
enviroment and seems to be doing pretty good.
For home use it is fine as that would be your application.

BAWUGheads,
I want to offer free wireless to my neighbors. Before I start asking what
kind of antennas and such I should get, I'd like to know if there is any
software that will do what I'd like:
1) Firewall the connection, blocking all incoming unsolicited traffic
2) Throttle the bandwitdh
3) Offer a splash page that you must click through prior to all of the
outgoing ports opening up (such as what you get at Waypoint/TMobile/etc
hotspots now). I could require someone to do this every ..say.. 7 days
(tracked by MAC address of course). This splash page would have
information on the wireless network, my contact information, a paypal
donation button, and a "please obey these terms of service or you will be
blocked".
Is there any software out there for any OS (I could scrounge up an old PC
to route the connection through) that could let me easily do the above?
I understand that I could do 1&2 with ipchains... how about #3?
Thanks! -Kris

Kris, I'd suggest NoCat from http://nocat.net/ . It supports 1), 2) and 3). You could run it in open mode, which will do the splash page thing. Another useful reference for nocat in a small distro is Pebble at http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/
