Wouldn't the little hotspot box be easier? Admittedly, I don't have much 
experience with RADIUS authentication. A server for IAS or the *nix 
equivalent would be required wouldn't it? A big piece of extra hardware 
with configurations versus a small one (hotspot box). If I am incorrect 
in this, please tell me. I have been looking (briefly) at a wireless 
access area for a couple small towns using RADIUS, and want to know all 
I can about it before I commit to it.
