can someone please advise on what software to use for access control and time control for a shared internet connection for a motel :-)
it has 26 rooms each with network connected to a switch uplinked to the adsl router.
I need to be able to have people have to login and be able to monitor time or mb's so I can see usage and stop the excess usage , we have had people downloading upto 10 gb at a time and costing a load to keep the connection up, I'd really like to use a linux solution for this one, and keep the service running for the poeple who need access (road warriors,etc,etc)
thank in advance :-)

look no further than ZoneCD (publicip.net). It does all you want above and lots more too... Great docs too
