RE: ethernet class and subclass

try a freeware program most higher education programs use to manage there 
network we are moving toward that in a month or so it is called netreg just 
do a search for it on google it requres isc-dhcp mysql isc dns and a couple 
other programs that are free.  it basically gives a computer an ip and dns 
server info that what ever page the try to surf to will be rederected to 
your regitration page.

you then have them enter there info and mac address into the page this will 
update my-sql dns dhcp to give them a real ip and dns servers

i'll let you know how it goes over at CalArts in about a month
