here's the situation fellow techies:

i have a client who is balking at putting in free wireless internet access at her coffee shop because she feels that people will hog the tables and surf the internet and not buy coffee or pastries thus she'd be losing paying customers.

what i would like to do is find a way to allow people to access the internet for a set time (say an hour) if they buy a mocha or something. then if they weren't constantly buying something, they would get cutoff.

another question is this: is there any way to say that only 5 people can access the wireless internet at a time? then someone would have to leave before someone could get on if there were 5 people using the wireless access....

any other suggestions/ideas?

thanks.
