Hi Danny,

Cisco has a product called Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM)
that has this capability. I'm not familiar with how it actually
accomplishes redirecting your web page though. There may be a technical
description of how it does it on CCO, but I haven't been able to find it
as of yet.

Hey Group,

Sorry for the off topic. Whenever you plug into a network at a hotel
for example, the first thing you see when you open your browser for the
first time is a page with disclaimers and/or payment options, etc...
How does your browser know to load this initial page? DHCP? Maybe
somebody has worked on this before or knows of a link or resource that
describes how this type of access is setup?

Thanks,

Danny
