Ok the background. Ive been approached by 2 businesses in Leeds about supplying Wireless Internet access technology on their premises.

The first is a smallish cafe that want to do free wifi for customers. They want to allow anyone to connect - but when they do they want the make sure that the user cant actually connect to the net until they confirm the T&C's via a web page (as in they open the browser it presents the page - essentially an advert - and they click ok).

Another place a lounge bar have totally separately approached me about running a paid for network service - the same sort of thing as the cafe but with cards to buy from behind the bar for several mins web access.

I've been searching high and low for answers on how to do this cheaply but am stumped - basically I'm just confused.

I can do the hardware etc. the only problem is the software to allow users access in the way described. Frankly I don't have a clue what I'm looking for (else google would have been my god)

Any ideas (preferably free or cheap )

Cheers,
Tom
