Hi, Since you seem to be happily married to Windoze, I wouldnt like to comment further. On the other hand, if you are looking at an FOSS solution, I would do the following: - a) Use m0n0wall (www.m0n0.ch/wall) as the captive gateway b) Use FreeRADIUS with mysql backend as the AAA Server c) Use phpmyPrePaid as the Front-end to create timed prepaid accounts d) Use Thinstation as your kiosk OS. You can bundle only Firefox and Gaim. Workflow would be: User sits at kiosk, fires up firefox. Is presented with a Landing page asking for username+password. User authenticates himself and starts browsing etc. Depending on the authorization in phpMyPrepaid, he gets kicked out on expiry of this time. Hope that helps, Shiv --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
