I'm looking into setting up a wireless access point as part of a
commercial venture, but want to control access to the internet using
some kind of server software (ie. someone buys a card with a code on.
That code is valid once for an hour).

Without this code the person cannot get through to the internet. The
wireless access point uses the computer as a gateway.

Can Linux do this?
