RE: Is hotspot going to replace PPPoE

John:

For the record, you're posting to a PPPoE mailing list, advertising something other than PPPoE. In addition, your tone has been very aggressive, while Bob, a regular (and helpful) member of the PPPoE mailing list, has IMHO been comparatively docile. As a subscriber to the PPPoE mailing list, I'm expecting discussions about PPPoE. If you'd like to discuss HotSpot, start a HotSpot mailing list, and let interested parties join....novel idea, huh? Your current approach borders on SPAM, at least in so far as it's completely misdirected and unwelcomed in my inbox, and certainly not a subject I've subscribed to.

Since you've shown both an aggressive manner and a lack of respect for subscribers to PPPoE mailing list, I fully expect an angry retort. Let me jump the gun by saying "piss off". I'm not interested in your opinion anyway! If I feel compelled to look into HotSpot, I'll approach it the same way I did PPPoE. Perhaps you should approach a magazine, such as Network Computing....their test labs may be quite interested in a PPPoE vs. HotSpot test, and as a subscriber, I'd be happy to read an unbiased evaluation.

In any case, as I said earlier, piss off. I look forward with anticipation to your response (I expect your ego can't piss off without hurling a few insults!).

My humblest apologies to the list but hopefully, you agree, this is all so very off topic.

Gord

There are comments from Matt, David Skoll, and John Angelmo -- so don't take all the credit.

The hotspot model does support logging in to multiple ISPs -- our beta version allows our radius client to do AAA on whatever ISP radius server -- according to the @xxx.com extension. It supports framed IP address and most other radius attributes. We have just added L2TP, maybe we can add support to encapsulate these packets to a specific ISP.

We will have a special presentation on our hotspot technology at the WISPCON III in Chicago. See this web page and we can meet there. www.wispcon.info Write me to get a discount coupon.

I should start doing some real work, but if the current hotspot does not have enough of the pppoe features, I am pretty sure that we can add whatever is needed.
