Many thanks Fahd and Matthew!

So I was correct initially by thinking that CoovaChilli ran on the Linksys WRT range of routers.

This I guess is great for a pocket installation but not what I'm looking for hardware wise at least. I believe that the software is probably what I'm looking for but I need it specifically to interface with Cisco kit and since Cisco IOS operating system is proprietary it definitely will *not* run on Cisco access points.

Fahd you mention something about a portal.... is there any software that will actually do URL redirects to a login page?? I am guessing it would be called a portal!

The reason why I am sticking to Cisco is that I know the H/W capability and also am fed up with GUI displays for config..... another reason why I solely use UNIX systems for servers and desktop environments :-)

Since Squid seems like it's not the right software I guess I am getting a bit off topic here so next best place to post should probably be the Cisco net Pro forum which should give me better insight.

Squid can be made to work (with the session helper), but something specifically designed as a captive portal (like wifidog) might be a better choice.


Many thanks for all comments and opinions, they're much appreciated :-)
