[Sussex] internet cafe

[Stuart Box]

Hi chaps,

Perhaps the simplest way might be BT's OpenZone-in-a-box. Provided the location has ADSL (or can get it) or better. This looks to take all the hassle out, managing accounts, access etc, and simply paying to location a premium for the number of hours used. I haven't done the financials, but it looks like it may take sometime to break-even (say six months?) a lot depends on how many users are expected.

BT OpenZone in a box is at

Hi all,

After having a few days off from work I get back to be told I'm gonna meet wit someone regarding putting internet in his café (wireless) for customers to use.

I've not used wireless before although setting up shouldn't be too much of a problem, what I don't have a clue about is will it just need a router and some setting up then pretty simple for customers to use or is it a case of needing a server and software.

I'm guessing that they will want there own machine to look at the internet themselves and for any setup I do, but they are pretty tight for space so looking for advice.

Would like help on this quite quickly if possible.

Thanks
