<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I have been interested in WiFiDog for quite a while but at the moment it is not quite to the stage of development I need it to be... I am currently using PublicIP (which is based on WiFiDog with a custom Auth Server) but am not happy that I am not in full control of the Auth Server and cannot push for features that I need.</SPAN></P>

Heart beats should also be ceased when the rule is broken to force user logout.</SPAN></P>
