The term you are looking for is "captive portal". There are a couple of Linux firewall distros that have the funcationally as a module or you can hack together your own version using NoCatAuth. Useful links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal http://nocat.net/ Linux firewall distros referenced above: http://m0n0.ch/wall/ http://www.smoothwall.org/ If you are looking for one that is a drop and go CD (based on Knoppix) designed to work with wireless hotspots you can look at ZoneCD. http://www.publicip.net/zonecd/what.php Hope this helps, now I await the 40+ messages from list members who have auto-reply messages telling me they are out of the office. :-/ -- Jimm
Hello All, Can someone tell me how to design and configure the hotel room security control? As what I have experience before in a hotel, I will only be permitted to access to the Internet after I pay using the credit card. But I sometimes found that I have been assigned with IP addresses
butcannot >access to any port. When I access to the web port, it will bring me to
the payment page before I can access to the web. Can someone tell me how that is configured? What mechanism is used and what device is used? Thanks. Ricci
