Great Job!

I am using Grase Hot Spot and i find it very very useful. 

Now i am waiting the new releases for some tests, but if you can work it remotely, i think this is a great day for us.

I am interested in the documentation, and i can try it in a large testing benchmark of hundreds of distribuited hotspots.

Thans for your time!

Have a nice day.

> The remote site (D-Link Router) uses the Coova Chilli included with the DD-WRT firmware to redirect users to the Grase authentication Portal, after that, the username, password, and other attributes are checked with the radius server. If the authentication is successful then the user is allowed to use the Internet and DD-WRT Coova Chilli takes care of the session even if the main site (Grase) goes down. DD-WRT Coova Chilli also sends periodical data (every 5 minutes) to Radius server to keep information up to date.
