Hi,
I have business class DSL in a strip mall. I'd like to sell access to
my wireless access point. My DSL contract allows this.
Is there any existing software that manages the collect credit-card
and grant access process? Is this typically done using the MAC address
of the wlan client?
If software doesn't already exist I guess I'll need to write some. I
assume this would be best done using Linux because the
firewall/routing capabilities are robust and easy to manage. Any
comments?
