Yes, really useful. Don't care about the RADIUS things mentioned
earlier. RADIUS is nice, but more useful in enterprise locations. Your
solution would be fine for cafes, bars or small hotels. Even for a small
conference it would be a nice solution.

Yes, but I don't know of any small bon printer, which has a lan
interface. Are there any? Maybe we should consider using a small printer
server for that. Other solution would be to stop using the serial port
for the console (we can make that optional) or adding another serial
port the mainboard. Last problem: finding a set of suitable printer
drivers.
