Hint: There's a reason that most are Linux based. Users want
reliability, which means leaving it on forever and not having it
crash. Also the ability to size the system to do just the one task
that's needed. Doing that will Linux is easy. Trying to do that with
Windoze is umm.... not very easy.

Numbers please? All such devices are not created equal. Linksys
WRT54G routers and others can do much of what's needed inside the
router with alternative firmware (i.e. DD-WRT, OpenWRT).

Bandwidth limiting (QoS) is usually a feature of the router.

There are various rule sets that can be applied depending one whether
you're trying to prioritize on the basis of IP, MAC, source,
destination, type of service, etc. Lots of solutions for Linux, but I
can't think of any for W2K. Sorry.

Are you sure you just need bandwidth management and not access
control? That's the usual problem, where users need some sort of
authorization to use the hot spot. That's also the most complicated
part of the hot-spot. It's almost always a RADIUS server, which
requires installing some SQL database manager.

Yep.
Yep.
I just checked your original posting header and the newsgroup is
listed twice.

Perhaps you're seeing double?
