authenticate internet access

[lintow]

I'm trying to develop a system that connects to Cisco's CNR

Authenticate a user to get access to our internet.

Example: when you take your laptop to a Cafe shop and they have internet access there but you have to pay for it. So when you connect your laptop and open a browser and it takes you to this authentication page. And you can't go anywhere else but that page until you pay for the access and it authenticates your laptop.

Java can and sends strings to CNR's command line and it runs the commands then it sends it back to the Java program.

this url tells you exactly how it works

Nice tutorial, thanks.

And the question is?

I'm not sure how to set this up using Java. Any help would be appreciated. I want to use Java applets. I would like to set it up using Microsoft Access also.

I work for a university and we want to have our students authenticate there PCs to have internet access.

I have an example of how Boston College developed it. I want
to set it up like they way they did it.

If you are willing to help me with this.....I can show you the examples.
