Multiple user softwares

Hello all,

I am not sure if I am in the right forum category so pls advise otherwise.

I wish to do the following:
On a Windows XP machine,
- Configurating a number of users
- Assigning time period for every user to use the pc (in fact, the internet connection)
- Find a software that can do that.

My aim is start in a commercial activity that provides coffee shops a pc connected to the net where clients buy a card (username and a password) and connect to the net.

Could you pls help on this (or guide me to other references).

Thanx a lot

p.s. I live in France.

 

Configuring users is not a problem, but logging them off automatically is.

Hi, and thanx for the links.

Yup, french do have google in France!!!

 

i'd think that there must be a turnkey system for cafe style access in europe/france. linksys' wrv54g router has a cafe-in-a-box type setup to handle the wireless side more or less. and any server software should handle the account logon and logoffs.

search on 'boingo' for the linksys details.
