Hotel Wireless login page aka "Captive Portal"
 
so, I've got a friend trying to help a client of his setup a replacement Internet configuration, new switches, wireless aPs, etc. He's asked me about the page you see at many hotels/time shares, where you put in the password, or at least agree to the facility's use practices before you can go to the web. I'm looking for a router that can handle that on its own, or at worst, a server setup.. any ideas or info? Thanks :)

If it's a network with allot of users, captive portal done by the router sucks, in my opinion. May work OK for less than 10 users. Many are based on Linux or open source projects that seem abandoned.
