I have been looking at zonecontrol to sit behind the AP-3 in the bar  
I am involved with in the city, as I don't want to expose the  
internal network to users of the hotspot. It runs nocat and does  
wirewalling. Needs a 486 with 128MB RAM

Vak and Steve have suggested using a WRT as a smaller footprint  
solution and I think you can run nocat on that.

If anyone would like to get practically involved in the supply and  
configuration of a solution we have Mountain Goat on tap :-)
