I understand that.  Although IMHO, all we (operators of the hotspot) need 
to do is to state clearly in the text area after (or even before) the login 
form that the quick links are to be bookmarked so end users can easily find 
them later on.  Surely, end users should have the common sense to know and 
do what needs to be done.  It's beyond our control if they fail to 
understand the simple recommended action.

Something like the following should suffice, if I were to implement it on 
my end, for example:

Before you click the *[Login]* button make sure you bookmark the following

> Logoff <http://10.1.0.1:3990/logoff> - this link will instantly log you

> Hotspot Status <javascript: loginwindow = 
> window.open("http://10.1.0.1/grase/uam/mini", "grasestatus", 
> "width=350,height=400,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no"); 
> loginwindow.focus();> - this will open a status window for the current 
> session
>
> To easily bookmark the links, simply drag them to to your browser's
