About re-inserting the link to Amazingports

The article contains links to several captive portal solutions, that use RADIUS as the main authentication protocol. To extend the informative value of the article a different kind of captive portal solution should also be included. Amazingports has such a different solution. Probably from an encyclopaedia's point of view, the similar solutions can exemplified by one of links and than the other links can be made pointing out different ways of achieving the same thing.

About having a list of software products at all

Captive portals, both as standalone software products and integrated components of larger systems, are so commonplace and prolific that maintanence of a list of such products is probably more trouble than it is worth. Such lists become nesting sites for cometitive link farming. It should probably just be removed entirely. (71.233.167.118 (talk) 02:24, 7 March 2014 (UTC))[reply]
