Hello Paul,
I will see if we can add better documentation for this these features. I
think their web browser gets the ad page instead of where they wanted to go
-- and then it goes on to where they wanted to go.

I'll see what I can do but it's only in the lab at present. I'm not sure a
public address would be any help as it relies on all your web traffic being
transparently proxied through the MT. Once a pre-defined timer expires the
MT would then send a pop-up to the end users when they next request (at
least I think that's the theory). It should also block all traffic until the
end user has seen the advert so I'm wondering if this would have problems
with users running pop-up blockers. John?
Cheers,
P.

I know this would be a bunch of work but can you either send us some
screen shots of this in action or possibly give a public address to the
hotspot side so we can see what this feature looks like in action? I
would really like to see the ad feature running and I am having trouble
visualizing exactly what it is doing.
Many thanks,
Scriv
