Public wireless hotspot software

11-23-2003, 07:57 PM

Does anyone know of any software that can be used to run a public wireless
hotspot that will let visitors access your own intranet site to sign-up
before letting them access the entire World-Wide-Web? I want to log them
before letting them access the Web.

Thanks.

Is that a piece of free software? I can't find links to it on the site or
any downloads.

Any "software solution" still requires dedicated hardware. Why not
just get a fully integrated device like they sell at
http://www.InstantHotspot.com which is super easy to setup and works
great.
