(RADIATOR) Idea for an app...

Tue Jan 7 16:02:16 CST 2003

Nokia, cisco, nomadix and colubris all make boxes that do what you want. Colubris has an integrated wireless AP, the nomadix works with almost any AP and the cisco and nokia solutions work best (if at all) with their own APs.

Well. For the auth and page redirect part, Im very interested.

I have search for some software for this and havent been able to find
something I like so far.

We need some software for hotspots (wire or wireless) that when a user
plugs in, dhcp will assign an IP and then when the user opens up a ANY
web page, he will be asked for a username or code, and upon successful
auth, he will be granted access to the Internet for X amount of
minutes.. After that.. Internet is closed again and he has to insert
another username, code or buy more minutes..

Sounds like the idea Mike is working on?

%Hello Anton -
%
%1. Our Radmin product will already do most of what you describe.
%
%	www.open.com.au/radmin
%
%2. You would need the usual twisted-pair ethernet hub or switch and 
%some Cat-5 cabling, together with one or more 802.11x wireless access 
%points. You would also need some sort of server machine (probably a PC 
%running some version of Linux/xxxBSD) and some sort of connection to 
%the internet. Finally you would need some magic software to redirect 
%the http requests to the login page when a user starts up a session.
%
%For this last point, Mike has recently been working on some 
%redirection 
%software for exactly this purpose.
%
%I have copied Mike on this mail and he may have some additional 
%comments.
%
%regards
%
%Hugh
