It doesn't look to me like the price of Qorvus compares favorably w/
CUWiN (free) + Metrix (low cost), although Qorvus probably sells support.
I must say, their web interface sure is purty.  It seems to contain the
boneheaded "phone home" aspect of LocustWorld/WIANA.org, though.

Re: captive portal, what do you need for it to do?  Do you need for it
to be in every node?  Any reason you can't put it at the gateways?
