DD-WRT can do this on a variety of hardware. If you use it on higher end gear (meaning not a Linksys wrt54gl) you have to buy a license, but it's pretty cheap. They use Chillispot as the underlying "captive portal". Play with it on a $50 WRT54GL and see if it meets your needs. The developers will also do custom coding and branding if you toss a reasonable fee their way. Regards, Michael Holstein Cleveland State University
