Wireless is wide open 24/7/365 , we broadcast the SSID, no yearly
cost to us.<br>
<br>
I pulled the following from previous emails as to what we do.<br>
<br>
We have a Linksys WAP55AG & a WRT54G connected to a 10Mbps hub.
<br>
The hub connects to a virtual pc running ZoneCD (free version of
PUBLICip)
<br>
It's output goes to the Red zone of IPCop (also running on a virtual
pc)
<br>
<br>
We setup the ZoneCD to display a copy of the library policy.
<br>
You need to accept it to go on.<br>
<br>
It may seem a bit convoluted but we can log the first connection per
day by a wireless device.<br>
<br>
The wireless goes through ZoneCD which provides a 10.10.10.x IP to
them and serves a policy page.<br>
When the page is acknowledged ZoneCD always sends the first request
through IPCop to our website.<br>
(ZoneCD has a fixed IP of 10.10.10.1)<br>
<br>
Webalizer logs the referrer IP in the report so we only need to look
for the correct IP.<br>

We pay less than $100 per year for the portal. We currently
require them to create a logon account. We can restrict ports,
bandwidth, time usage as well as other options.<br>
<br>
What are you doing at your library for wireless service? Are you
broadcasting the SSID? Do you keep the service on after closing
time? Do you allow them access without an account? If so how are
you gathering stats?<br>
<br>
I am wanting to offer the service in a more seamless way, but
still want them to agree to an Acceptable User Policy as well as
being able to gather monthly stats. Those are the 2 main things
that we want to keep in place.<br>
