software called iCafe Gateway
iCafe Gateway is a Client-server system for Internet cafes.
NEW TO VERSION 1.51:
One Mac is the server and does all the accounting. You cash in money and
while the client is surfing it counts down the time/money. If a client (
the computer people do surfing ) runs out of money it gets a stop dialog
box. You can select a default browser ( maybe one with kiosk mode ) and an
accounting server. This means a maximum fexibility. A coin rejector will
follow by the end of 2000 automating the complete process. The server does
a detailed logging of most activities. This logfile could be imported into
a database to find out how much your income of each surf station was. ( you
can disable the logging if you dont need it ) The system is reduced to the
ease of use and any person is able to administrate the accounting of your
Internet cafe.
