Problem: I offer internet browsing to business clients on a "honor system", pay for useage ie $5.00/hr basis. The majority of their useage is spent checking/sending email
This system works but there's always that 10% that forget to pay or abuse my honor system. So I'm losing money over the long haul.
I collect funds either by cash or through my credit card machine and this gets to be a hassle at times because I'm busy running the rest of my business (a Hiker's Hostel).
Solution/Question: Is there any linux based software that would require my clients to pay via credit/debit cards through this business computer upfront or at end of session for web browsing?
I need something that wouldn't require my attendance for each session.
Cash purchases? Any suggestions?
**I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, sorry I hit the Kubuntu button!
Thanks
