All of the documentation is contained within their download. It appears like a nice lightweight solution. It is basically a captive portal that requires authentication before allowing access to the internet. It takes a different approach then netreg using dynamically created iptables generated after a user logs in. Whereas netreg uses dhcp to assign one set of ip addresses to an authenticated group of users and one set of ip addresses to an unauthenticated set of users. It appears in their current implementation nocat would require an authentication every time a user connects to the system and netreg would require a single authentication event and subsequently would read the mac address from the dhcpd.conf file and grant an authenticated ip address.
