Build your own hotspot!! ...with in house control...

I am responsible for a small wireless network at a vocational school. We offer our bandwith to our students, teachers and to a small local community for free. I think I am not alone here.... Yes, we do have to take care of our network, who uses it, what is downloaded, etc...etc.. and let me say that this sometimes sucks. I do not know of any product in the opensource community to work this out. Yes, we all know ZOneCd, and it is a great project, however everything is done out of house. The user login takes place in a server miles away from you, and sometimes it goes down which means your users will not be able to log in and use internet.

Today i met ... it has no name yet ... but soon it will have..let's hope so:).. well, as i was saying, i met this project: http://www.oregonmicroscience.com/hotspot/ and this seems to be a good if not perfect solution for those of you that are trying to work wireless communities. Please take a look at the forum (http://www.oregonmicroscience.com/hotspotforum/). You will find a "almost" complete how-to on how to put things rocking... in no time...

Hope you guys enjoy it.
