[plug] Looking for Hotspot Distro/Software

[Shannon Carver]

Ah, I've seen your boxes around in the air ports and stuff.  We're
looking for a different setup, as we have a room full of PC's already.
The only thing we want to manage is the access to the net through an
authenticated proxy type situation.

Cheers though

At the moment the only way to purchase pieWIFI is to purchase either a 
kiosk from us or a kiosk hotspot. Since it's pretty well integrated into

our software, I doubt that we'd be looking at selling it separately 
anytime soon. If you'd like I can chase up one of our sales people to 
contact you.
