one of the topics that came up in the last meeting was the creation of a turnkey hotspot to allow relatively non-technical people to provide a wireless hotspot, without letting people spam through them and suck up all of their bandwidth. the general concept being; a person can run a cd based router w/hostap or something similar off of a laptop or appropriately equipped pc and use a web based gui to configure all of the interesting elements (available b/w, pointer to captive portal content, AUP, etc.). support would be provided by the TCWUG group. i thought i'd throw this out there in case someone was looking for a fun project for the fall / winter and wanted to donate some ergs to the concept. -- steve ulrich sulrich at botwerks.org PGP: 8D0B 0EE9 E700 A6CF ABA7 AE5F 4FD4 07C9 133B FAFC _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
