Hotspot?
12:46 PM EST 11/13/08
I was looking over things and I was curious if anyone had suggestions for how to make the Libraries Wi-FI into a hot spot. Specifically a means of managing bandwidth and having a "cover page" when they first load the internet. (Like they have at StarBucks" and such but instead of "give us money" just have a liability waiver.)

Your library is a HotSpot just by the fact that you're offering WiFi. What you're looking for is known as a "captive portal" which as far as I know the router supplied with the grant does not support. You can find out more about this technology at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal
