Not sure about WISPMon capabilities here, but these types of software are ALL the same capabilities as a "minimum requirement". 1. They provide a "landing page" for a new user to create a login/pass and process their payment for access 2. This information must be sent to the RADIUS server that allows the login to happen. (after payment is processed of course). 3. The page should either automatically log them in or send them back to the login page. Beyond those basic functions, which should be a minimum in each of them, there are other possible "add-ons" that make one better than the other. There are a number of options out there and you can pick which one best suits the needs of the network. For me, I like gatespot because it supports a number of useful features: 1. Unique landing page per hotspot (if you want) 2. Flexible in what type of information you collect from each customer 3. Runs on the same box as RADIUS server 4. Management for each hotspot There are other "add-on" features that I like, but these are the most useful for me personally. -- Butch Evans 702-537-0979 Network Support and Engineering http://store.wispgear.net/ http://www.butchevans.com/ _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
