Probably the wrong term... but



You know those airports or hospitals that let you use the wireless but require you to agree to TOS and/or fill in some registration data and/or get a single use key....  I'm trying to find out how to get one of those setup on an open wireless network.  Is this a feature that's in high end WAP's or some form of authentication server that the router checks against a database.



Anyone know what im talkin about?  Is there a quick n easy way to this?  *nix/win doesn't matter if its a server.

Yep, the term you are looking for is Captive Portal.  I know that this is a builtin feature of DD-WRT as well.
